I replaced the front passenger wheel bearing. Replaced the original front brakes and rotors while I was at it, though they were (unbelievably) still good at 121k.

Replacement of worn regular shocks and struts with heavy duty, lifetime-warrantied ones, partly due to regular commuting at very cold temperatures (down to -40C) on ice rutted roads with heavy passenger loads.
