Ok. I dropped it off at PepBoys tonight for early bird Sunday service.
We'll see what happens.

PepBoys? I hope for your sake they don't screw up. Franchise-type
companies like PepBoys and Midas are generally to be avoided. Find a good
private mechanic who works on Japanese cars instead.

Rear brakes got new pads about 6-8 months ago.

Just to clarify... If the hub is supported by an inner and outer
bearing (simple spindle suspension), I would replace the pair even if
