Does what look worn?

 

..

 

The pads? They look new

 

Also, does this look off?

looks crooked

 

Take a micrometer to the rotors...not with a tape measurer.

 

Pads and rotors look good, send it. FYI the slot in the pad material is like wear bars on a tire, when its level with the rest of the pad material its time for new pads.

 

Is slight brake drag on the rotors when spinning the wheel by hand normal? I definitely feel a difference with and without the calipers on. I also hear very slight grinding.

 

Yes, pads drag ever so slightly. That's normal....as is your crooked ball joint.

 

Normal.

 

If you dont know the history of your lower ball joints, thro in trash and get new ones.....
save a fender..........

 

100%

 

There's plenty of horror stories here about people almost flipping their truck bc the lower ball joint failed - just replace it if you don't have a receipt.

 

change lbj with oem

 

This is a worn brake pad.

 

I'm kinda hooked on the napa premium for front brake and suspension....
all the boots are synthetic and usually always have a zert.....

Akebono pads.....oem shoes......

 

If there is play they are bad if they make noise they are bad. If in doubt they are bad. These trucks last forever maintenance makes last 2x forever
