So, I replaced all 4 shocks, brake pads, calipers, rotors and front brake lines and front wheel bearings.

Only issue was on the way to do the work the front end started wandering really bad, when I got to the house and put her up on the stands I noticed the upper control arm, outer bushing bolt had backed out, lost one of the new bushings, washers and bolts so I need to call the dealer tomorrow and hope they have them in stock. I didn't locktite those two bolts, even though I did everything else (i replaced the control arms a few weeks ago).

Anyhow, I need to find new washers, a bolt and the bushings, I figure the dealer will have the bushings in stock, or at least I hope they do and I can get a bolt and washers at the local parts joint. I'll have to pull the other side so I can match up the bolts.

Other then that I dunno how it drives with all the new parts cause I can't drive it. I sprung for the ceramic pads and good rotors, my right front caliper was stuck, which overheated everything on that side, even had a hell of time getting the bearings off as they were pretty jacked.

Yup i was able to thread a new bolt in, everything appears to be fine in that respect, dealer didn't have any new bushings, so i had to order them.
