I've got the GKN diff out to renew the worn bushes (pig of a job, pay someone else) and have opened it up to renew the sealant as it's got a slight leak.

Worth doing anything else whilst I'm at this stage or a case of if it ain't broke...

Mounting bushes is the most obvious to me.
Also greasing the UJs on the prop shaft.
Then getting some paint on the chassis that you can't usually reach.
Consider being careful with speed sensor too.

At a stretch, it's worth checking the tightness/condition of your CV joints since you've got them off, but that's another £250-300 in parts for all four.
