Just a general note while we are on the subject:
Tires should be rotated about once every 3,000 miles or 4 months. As a means of some good PM (prevantive mainanence) while the tires are off, do some poking around folks.
Look at all the visible components:
Steering & suspension links - grease buldging out from the boots is a sign they're in need of attention. Most are non greasable these days meaning a R & R is in order.
Shocks & struts - should be "clean" and dry. There should not be any grease/oils visable on the shock body/piston, if there is, clean it up and monitor the situation for return a replacement may be in order.
Brakes - presence of excessive dust, a blueish tint to the frotors/drums, and pad/shoe life. AND, now is the time to note the condition of the slide bolts, if they are dry and dirty, they obviously arent' working well. Also, lines and hoses, a dry brittle looking hose on th eoutside is definatley a problem.
For the giggle of it sometime, when you have the front tire off, and vehicle properly secured on a stand
have an assistant depress the brake pedal and watch how th ecaliper moves, yes, the whole assembly is supposed to move (slide).
