Replaced the front pads and rotors. That turned out to be quite the job as one of the guide pins was seized up and it took forever to get it out.

Hope you greased them when you put it back together
I sure did. Whoever did that job last either didn't grease them or didn't use the right kind of grease. I've dealt with stuck pins before, but damn! :frustration:

Had to deal with them on my truck when I replaced my calipers
There was close to 50% of pad left on the old brake pads. I just wanted to replace that shit because of the occasional shaking steering wheel when I would hit the brakes. Now I'm thinking that guide pin was what was causing that and not a warped rotor. :dunno:

Could have been the cause. How do they feel now...:dunno:
