check the condition of the rubber bushings; they can last a long time on the road but go fast off-road or if they have fluid leaking onto and damaging the rubber. The panhard rod and lower radius arm bushings go the fastest.

not sure if the 97 has a rotoflex on the driveshaft but I'd plan on fixing that if its there

 

not really tune-up but check the function of the door locks and window regulators and also the door seals

The window regulators have a plastic wheel that fails and you'll know when the window doesn't go down smoothly and quietly; check all the windows all the way

look for damaged window seals and door seals the rubber stripping on back is often cracked, and the inner door seals often get damaged and they cost a lot (about 100 bucks per door last time I checked)

 

Thanks man and yea 2 windows are messed up

 

new regulators are $100 each; some people try to replace the plastic wheel only with a screen door part from the hardware store but you have to rig it a little, there's an article in the tech section I think
