Default maintainance for a Camaro ss at 100,000!!!

The vert SS is finally at 100,000 miles and it has come time for me to do some maintainance though im not sure exactly what? so far i have done the following...
changed oil every 3,000miles, did a coolant flush, had the tranny serviced, brakes and pads changed. What else do i need to do?...

It is much cheaper.

Valvoline wanted $100 to just swap out my differential fluid...

rear LCA bushings are likely shot with 100K on them

Moog replacements (1LE equilivent) made a huge difference in my car.

swaybar end links, and bushings should be looked at as well.
