Since the Hensley manual does not list any items to be periodically replaced, what is your reference regarding which items should be replaced at what interval?
On my Hensley I had to replace the lower part of the jack tubes and I think I replaced the brackets that were on the spring bars, but it was easy to see the holes were starting to wear out. Other than that, in hindsight I wish I had taken it off more often just for an inspection and I would have caught that the spring bar bushings were wearing out. Also probably would have seen the crack before it became a complete failure.
