I think it would also be a good idea to look at the tires themselves too. Changes in temperature can damage the rubber if the car's not being used regularly, and so can the weight of the car. Check to see how much tread is left and if there are cracks, especially in the area where the tires are touching the ground, if you say the car hasn't been moved in awhile. If there's a crack, you should get new tires. Also, if the tires are as old as the car (10 years), you should get a new set. It's not really a good idea to drive with tires that are 10 or more years old. But if the tires aren't that old and look pretty good, it would be a good idea to get them re-balanced so they wear evenly.
