I would go with OEM pads and the calipers do not need replacing. The caliper slide pins do need to be pulled out, cleaned and regreased with brake grease.

The forward propshaft joint should be inspected, a replacement unit is rather expensive to replace at about $350US for us cheapskates south of the border. If that unit is worn because of a torn boot...

There should be rust on the outside cover of the bearing housing, that is normal and why we cover that with break grease when the rotor gets replaced. There better not be any rust inside!!!

Rear wheel bearings will get noisy when they need replacing, but will not cause any vibration, same as the front.

UT rocks! The only American University with a nude beach close to campus.
