Hit 90,000 Need What Replacements?

ok i Hit 90,000 now. I know i have to change the timing Belt. What other things should be replaced. My Transmission is in Perfect Condition and never been changed. There is a little click click sound comes from engine when Idling. Just today after 12 hours in 44F i started my Car and there was this really really loud sound started comming from the engine ( i cant describe how the sound was but it was really loud and hard and never came before ) . I got scared and closed the engine rite away, Turn the engine back on and the sound came back Just like that. So i turned the engine off, Opened the hood, Looked at everything and turn the engine back on leaveing the Hood open and there was no sound. Didnt know what happen.
Sorry for going into all that detail but i want my car back to its perfect condition and want to keep it running smooth. Since im thinking to keep doing modifications on it and have it as a showcar laaater onnnnn..
So please tell me what replacements i need.

What does Bleed means ..... Also, The staring wheel shakes when i hit the brakes when car going over 60. Is it because of the allignment. The car is a little bit out of allignment. I go everywhere for alignment, spent alot of money on it but these people in Newyork Just dont know how to do the allignment for 18" Wheels. Any suggestions what place is good in Newyork for Allignment.
Thanx

Normally when your car shakes when you brake isnt because you need an alignement but it is because your brake rotors are shot.

bleeding brakes is to remove the old fluid and replace it with new.

Your steering wheel shaking is due to warped rotors.

No bitch, it's warped rotors. He said "while braking".

If your car shakes just driving at 60mph then yes, you need a tire balance.

I have Type-S rotors on my car. Changed those rotors when the car got burned and white it was on repair. That didnt give a problem of shaking wheel at first but now its comming.

TL-S and TL-P have the same rotors, so it didn't matter which ones you used they're the same.

^ yah what he said.

Change brake fluid, brake pads, rotors, spark plugs... check your owners manual and turn to the back. They tell you what needs to be done at whatever miles your car hits.
