Grab the wheel and shake it hands @ 12 and 6, 9 and 3 to see if there is any play. Check all bushings on the control arms, and the bump stop on the strut. Just the normal on these cars. As said above, most times you can re-use the wear sensor, but they can brittle if it is really old so have some spares. They are only like $1/each so not a big deal to carry spares in a parts box anyway.

Make sure to apply anti-squeal and have fun!

Oh and also make sure to tighten the wheels in a star pattern and tighten up lugs using correct torque settings to avoid future potential rotor warping (110nm)
