Replacing calipers and rotors tmw, suggestions?
So i got my calipers pads and rotors from NAPA today. is there anything else i sould look at while i've got everything off? i know i should replace the hubs while im at it, however a money shortage is preventing that atm. what should i look for, and anything i should keep in mind when removing the calipers? thanks
and also, could worn wheel bearings cause a front end wobble? or is that cause by something else? shes got 112k on her if that helps...

You should get new bolts and slides.

And remember to use plenty of brake grease.

im sure you mean the grease on the slides. cuz usually
brakes (aka friction) + grease =/= good
edit: Quote VWandDodge - "Pull, clean, and repack the wheel bearings if you don't replace them."
forgot to ask, is there a certain type of grease you recommend? probably a high-temp grease right?

Hmmm, you guys are driving 4x4's, and that's out of my territory. If that is the case, I would replace the wheel bearings. 112K miles and everything is already apart then go the extra expense for preventative maintenance.

He has unit bearings (sealed) and they are probably shot. Before pulling the tire but after jacking it off the ground, grab said assembly and try wiggling it. You'll probably know right away if your bearings are bad, because any play is a no go.
I know your funds may be strapped but if your bearings are shot, now is good time to replace your front axle U-joints.
Ater 11 years I would think they're bad, or have been replaced already.
