    Front Brake Pads & Rotors + Front Wheel Bearing

    So I need to get some new front brake pads and rotors, and also a new wheel bearing & hub for my front driver side. I was just wondering if all these were the things I need to get.

    Rotors

    Brake Pads

    Front Wheel Bearing

    Also these were the cheapest prices I found for the items.

    is this for a wagon or sedan?

    i think those brake pads say rear? i could be mistaken....

    have you thought about upgrading to a Rotor-Over-Hub setup? (ROH)

        Is this for the whole car or just the front?

          that set is just for the front.

          those brembos and EBC Green Stuff pads are much better quality than you will find in that particular ROH conversion kit. They do sell the hub and bearing for doing the conversion but it is pricy.

          -my 2 cents.

            I think imma just stick with what I got. I just want to make sure that wheel bearing set is all I need to replace the bearing and hub.

              im gonna take the time and threadjack here if thats ok. does anyone have a better price on this? i need the same setup, if thats the best price thats totally fine with me, but if anyone knows where to get it a little cheaper that would be great.

              also, im looking at getting new tie rod ends, the ones i have currently grind into the wheel if i turn too far to the right or left. i ground them down a little but it still does it at extremes. if anyone knows where to get those at a good price.

              last is a loose steering issue, and rough ride. the loose steering is when i turn left. i had the front end checked but no one found anything. i think i have narrowed it down myself to one of three things.

              1.the driver side lower ball joint, i replaced the passenger side one not too long ago.
              2.driver side spindle. there seems to be a bolt missing or rusted off or something where the spindle meets the upper control arm. i took it to two shops and both of them said that it wasnt anything to worry about, that what im looking at is just a cover, but im not so sure.
              3.springs struts etc. when i go on a dirt or gravel road bumps seem very dramatic like the car is going to fall apart.

              i also have to get new front pads soon so i cant just hit it all at once. ive been driving it like this for a while so something will have to be done soon, if anyone has any suggestions for further troubleshooting id appreciate it.
              War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

                Make your own thread.

                Whoever checked it should've seen your tie rods. Take it somewhere else.

                1.the driver side lower ball joint, i replaced the passenger side one not too long ago.
                Always replace in pares.
                2.driver side spindle. there seems to be a bolt missing or rusted off or something where the spindle meets the upper control arm. i took it to two shops and both of them said that it wasnt anything to worry about, that what im looking at is just a cover, but im not so sure.
                Are you talking about the axle nut or the dust cover? There is a dust cover for the upper ball joint. It's two bolts. The axle nut bolts onto the end of the axle. It's a giant nut right in the middle if your rotor.
                3.springs struts etc. when i go on a dirt or gravel road bumps seem very dramatic like the car is going to fall apart.
                Find some place that KNOWS what they're doing, have them check your suspension

                I'd do it all at once. As long as you're down there, why not?
