Default OEM component life expectancy?

Other than the normal consumables like tyres, brakes, clutch, shocks, battery, hoses, etc, what sort of mileage are you getting from your major OEM components, like;
  • Alternator
  • Power Steering Pump
  • Water Pump
  • Transmission
  • Axle(s)
  • Steering Box
  • Radiator
  • A/C Components
  • Engine Mounts

Ive replaced Steering Box and Radiator at 200xxx+ miles. Radiator was my fault, I pulled it out several times and I was not gentle with it. Steering box was an attempt to get slop out but it didn't really help.

I consider water pumps with a 10 pound metal fan on the end of it regular maintenance.

I got 200,000 miles of my original shocks but they were pretty well shot.
