I remember crawling under cars with my dad and doing the same thing :D grease it here, grease it there and what the heck..... might as well put some grease here too :mullet: Shoot, I even put a couple zerk fittings on my front sway bar bushings since they're not available for our brackets.  Rats, I'll post up pics tonight after I get home from physical therapy.  :punchballs:

Na, just too many years of driving semi trucks and jumping off trailers. Here's a couple pics of those swab bar bushings.

Also knees, kidneys, shoulders (from throwing chains & straps) LOL!  On the mod, since they're not available with the correct brackets for our cars, I just copied idea :D

Great idea!  One to keep in mind.

Speaking of brake jobs, it's been my standard practice as a DIY'r to replace the calipers at the same time to avoid the dreaded 'piston sticking in the bore' when the new pads push the piston back into the bore which may or may not be rusty.

Overkill?

Is there ever a case where you would/could just install new pads, not new rotors.  Local, low mileage/yr driver for example?

Thanks for sharing!
