"Replacing the rubber in the car"?
Just curious - read in an article re: restoring an old Mercedes from the '70s that they could not get the car up to its initial rated horsepower due to deterioration of the rubber compounds, and had to replace all the rubber in the car.
When does this occur usually in a lifespan of a modern car - are the rubber compounds better than they used to be? Do you have to worry about this in say, 100k miles or around 5 years or so? or not really?
