Hasnt done anything strange yet. You may as well pack those front wheel bearings while your in there.
Good lick, hope this helps
i think he nailed it here, just a little vague ~~~ clean your ABS sensors and your ABS pick up wheels on the front hubs

sometimes the front ABS sensors don't like to come out easily, if they are stuck, use some brake cleaner on the end where they protrude on the back of the backing plate since the hubs are off to clean the sensor wheels
