    My car just developed an intermittent squeal. For whatever reason it only happens in the afternoon and goes away pretty quick. I forget about it by the time I get home. Anyway, noticed some real uneven wear developing along the back of the passenger side rotor, and am hoping that something rubbing there is the problem. But, is there any good way to test the hub assembly while I'm checking the brakes?

    Yeah, put the tire back on and jack the car off the ground and rock the tire from the 12 o'clock position to the 6 o'clock position and see if there is any play or odd noises...

    Was just a problem with the brakes, its fixed now. Any recommendations for aftermarket suspension? Noticed a few other things that could use replaced, may as well do it right. Not interested in lowering.

    Thanks. Mines an 04 - will that work as I haven't been able to find a similar kit yet? Looks like it has everything I wanted to replace though.

    Thanks again. Was hoping there was a kit for 04+ out there I couldn't find, but guess not.
