If it were my car, I would check the wheel bearing adjustment and pack if it hadn't been done in a while.

I always take the opportunity when in that area to look around carefully at the tie-rod ends, the ball joints, the control arm bushngs, the sway bar bushings, the steering dampener, the shocks and if possible the top strut (big rubber mount at the top).

It goes without saying that I would of course check the pads and the pad sensors.

Overall, this is one of those times where one can get up close and personal with the suspension and other parts. It is the opportunity to check for leaks, unusual wear items etc. It is also why some people will always remove the under tray and drain their oil instead of suctioning it out.
