Test drove her a few miles after getting my diffs reinstalled. Got 4.56’s and an Eaton/Harrop E locker installed by ECGS. Still need to wire in the locker but got the switch fit into the dash. Also replaced a broken motor mount on my 2nd gen.
Installed new wheel bearing/hub assemblies & new pads & rotors on the front. Passenger side bearing was bad, driver side was still OK but now it is new. Do you guys/gals "bed" your new pads?
Bed your pads, for sure! Do x5 speed runs from 60 to zero but don't complete stop, than 40 to zero without stopping fully, and than 30, 20, and back to 40 (all) to zero without fully stopping and then do a light 3 mile drive to cool the rotors and then in theory, you're set and ready to drive another 50k-100k miles!

I used PowerStop pads & they have a specific bedding procedure (not as many as you describe) but still won't be easy to find a road with light enough traffic to do it around here.
I drive from home to work and since yesterday i´ve been looking for the vacuum sensor of power steering the mechanic told that is really hard to find and expensive and the other option was to cancel it, i check at some local stores and yes the price was around $150 thru $250 dlls but i found it on WallyMex at $20 dlls hehe i just buy it.
