are my brakes bad? lol

easy way to check bj's is jack the truck up and take a broom handle or something and try to lift the tire up kinda like your prying it up. if you have alot of play or noise they might be going bad.

nothing happened when i did that which is awesome cause those are expensive, but when i did lift it up and spun the tire i heard that high squeak again im thinking my rotors are kaput, which i would rather replace than the ball joints, so i have an excuse to switch over to slotted and drilled rotors and ceramic brakes and brakes are fairly easy
any idea on those bushings in the pic anyone? would rather replace all the bushings at the same time while ive got the sway bar off, so i can have it alligned once

The sway bar end links come in a kit that includes all washers the bolt and nut and the bushings.
Do your brakes first, then Look into those bushings and a possible wheel bearing issue. I say do the brakes first because your wear markers could be rubbing your rotor when you step on the brake or not.
If you spun the wheel off the ground and heard the noise that sounds like a wheel bearing.
Jack up your truck and spin the wheel again, but when you do, grab the control arm. If you feel a roughness when it spins, it's a wheel bearing.

would a bad wheel bearing possibly cause the truck to pull to the left if its that side the sound is coming from, my step dad and i are gonna bleed my brakes prolly sometime this weekend to see if that could be my brake problem, but i know the bushings for my sway bar are where one of the sounds is coming from
