Higher mile maintenance
Anyone clear on what we should be looking for (corvette specific) for high mileage cars?
I feel like at 57k the shocks need replacing. (Magnet)
maybe some important bushings.
Obviously engine stuff is done. Fluids. I’m taking maybe engine mounts? Trans mounts?
2016 z06 m7. 1500 track miles approx. and 40k highway.

Check your upper and lower control arm bushings to make sure they aren't being pushed out of the control arms although GM seems to have improved the control arm bushings to make them stay in place since the early C5 days. The bushings on my 97 pushed out so far that at 23K miles the front lower control arms had moved rearward and were rubbing on the front cradle.
I have 18K total miles on my 15Z with about 5K track miles on it and the bushings are holding up well.
