It's a lot nicer tho when your driving only requires one hand.
Well, I have to respect that, as you did TRY to make one handed driving a permanent feature.




Dry humor, I tried adding emojis, but the realized I'm emoji illiterate. For example, is this 😗 whistling as if nonchalant or is it a variation of 😙😚😘.

No need to add emojis. Your comment was hilarious.
 
I’d change them while had it apart. Take the rotors and see if they need turning so you don’t take a chance of tearing up the new pads. I’d also check for play in the ball joints too while I’m at it.

So, these rotors never have enough meat left on them to turn and not be under minimum. Hardly past minimum new.


I knew I needed ball joints. Ended up doing those while I had it apart. Really wasn't too bad for a truck sitting on a car chassis. Right at 150k, first its had ball joints. These are serviceable, maybe last a little longer.

I'm sure not ment to be hunched over working on vehicles anymore, miss having a lift.

I hate doing this stuff, but its usually a few weeks to get stuff repaired around here. Closest guy who's really good is staying booked 45-60 days out.
 
Sounds like you’ve gotten it taken care of. It’s the same in my area. Good shops have long waits. At work we have to go to the dealership and “repossess” our trucks sometimes that have been sitting there for 6 plus months waiting to be fixed and take them somewhere else.
What vehicle are you working on?
 
My 21 ranger is still on original brakes. Last oil change at the dealer I asked them to check the brakes.
$500.00 roughly for rear brakes. I thought fronts usually went out first. This truck is all disc. I'm not experiencing any braking issues.

Girl, I work with, her husband has a garage in town. He told me no more than $300.00 with parts.

I live in an apt. so any mechanic work is a royal PITA working in a parking lot.
