Default help me make a maintenance list

ok im wanting to go ahead and do 50k maintenance early and since the car is also almost 10yrs old i figure it cant hurt. my car has 42k miles.
change tranny fluid
change rear diff fluid
flush brake fluid
flush power steering fluid
flush coolant
seafoam the car
sparkplugs and wires
belts
is there anything else fluid wise i can/should change, should i grease or lube and joints or bearings? i have some dimpled rotors i have to install in all 4 wheels along with brake pads. i know alot of this is not required but id rather go ahead and do it for peace of mind. thanks for any input
i did the fuel filter around 30k, had the clutch master cylinder and clutch fluid replaced at 40k due to sticky clutch

I'd be surprised if the brake pads aren't cracked, if they're the stock pads...

air filter, wiper blades. Check the water pump weep hole. While you're doing the coolant, you can change the thermostat out.

Definately grease all the balljoints and bearings you can.

i bought it from a dealer so im pretty sure they did some maintenance, last time i checked pads werent cracked but they are getting changed with ebc's. ive never personally greased ball joints so ill have to try to look into the specific locations thanks! and maybe i should just do thewater pump while im foing the fluid im sure it wont last much longer anyway
