1999 Viggen, 100k - Preventative Maintenance items?

Hey guys
I've crossed 100k in my daily driver 99 Viggen (actually at about 105k now). I purchased the car in late 2006 with 65k. A year later, at around 75-80k, I replaced the MAF, the bypass valve, spark plugs and PCV system - none of these had failed, but I wanted to be proactive for a change. Since then, I've had very few problems. There's a slight coolant leak at the water pump, couple of drops a week on the garage floor, and a slight leak at the output shaft on the trans, light coating of oil on the underside in that area. Both of these are 'on the list' but I'd like to get input on anything else I should consider replacing. I haven't touched the front suspension, so I imagine ball joints or similar might be in order, and also plan on replacing the serp. belt and tensioner when I finally bit the bullet and replace the water pump. Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
