Hi Klaus,

I just checked the drivers side and the rear pads are real skinny, time for new ones. Should I do the emergency shoes too and maybe new rotors? The rotors look
usable but just barely? Also what parts to use? Is FCP stuff OK?

When I checked the front pads are fine but the strut boot is torn and there's a lot of end play at the CV joint/Drive shaft is that abnormal?
The CV boots are OK.

When I got this car last summer I was surprised to see that the PO had just changed out a single front strut, and there's some weird noises sometimes from the drivers side. Maybe it's time for brakes all around and struts? Might as well
put in a IPD sway bar while I'm at it.

Now you'll tell me to do rear shocks too. Adios money!

I'll check the right side wheels later today, gotta pick up my 8 year old
from school now.

Bill
