84 S10 2.8v6, 704 Tranny
Coming To A Stop, Pass Front Squeals, As Does Driver Front, But When I Move From A Stop Sign, The Pass Front Make A Thunk. I'm Thinking The Caliper May Be Loose, Or (horror Of Horrors!!!) The Ball Joint. I Just Put New Pads On Around Jan (fingers Are Still Frost Bit!!), And I Also Put New Slides On As Well. I'll Take A Look At It On Sunday (yeah Sunday, Mothers Day) And Confirm It, But Any Info You Guys Could Give Me On What To Look For Would Be Much Appreciated. Yours Truly,

did you lube the slides? and a lose ball joints a definet possibility... remember to check the joints on these, put a jack under the lower controll arm untill the tire is off the ground, prop a 4x4 perpendicular to the tire, and use a long 2x4 for side to side motion, there should be none at all

SLIDES WERE LUBED. I TRIED THE MOVEMENT THINGIE, AND I HAVE ABOUT 1-2 INCHES OF SIDE TO SIDE PLAY. LOOKS LIKE I'M CHANGING SOME BALL JOINTS THIS WEEKEND. :(

Side to side movement indicates bad tie rods ends. Up and down move generally indicates a bad ball joint.
Thanks

thats a generalization, you need a second person to see what joint is accually moving
