They all sound good. I'd check all the ball joints, grease everything. Check the brakes of course, pads and rotors, inspect brake lines for any wear. Top off your PS fluid and brake fluid, etc.

I dont know about needing new fluids all together, but you should be able to use the power steering dipstick and see if your low or not.
