You may or may not be aware but you should check the front ball joints on that M380's independent front suspension. With so few miles on your bus, yours may still be in good shape.

Those are sealed ball joints with no zerk fittings for adding grease. Most M380 owners have had to replace the rubber boots that seal the ball joints and have added grease fittings to both upper and lower ball joints. These rubber boots are not available from Meritor (the manufacturer) but there are secondary sources if you find you need them.
