Here are pics of the caps and one of the rotor. They show some wear/corrosion, but I don't think it's the worst anybody has ever seen. I did note small hairline cracks near two of the posts on the pass. side cap.

For the longest time, I had the CEL on for a mundane code (something about module box being too warm) - naturally, if the light is already on, you're not going to see any "new" codes. Well, sure as S, I had codes 10 & 17.

I've reset the codes, and will see which one pops up first.

Something I noticed: When accelerating moderately, once I get past a certain RPM range, the car suddenly finds an extra set of balls, and really gets going.
