What all to check for?

[97ranger22bronco]

I pulled the front brakes off of my '97 to replace them, and while everything is apart figured now is a good a time as any to check the front end. I'm not at all sure what to check for, any recommendations and/or standard things that I should do would be greatly appreciated. I shook the assembly and there's no movement in it to indicate anything is loose if that's helpful.

New bearing with the rotors? Only thing left is ball joints, pivot bushings, radius arm bushings, and shocks/mounts.

don't the new rotors come with the bearings pressed in?

New rotors frequently come with outer races pressed in, but it’s better to knock them out and use the outer races that come with new bearings, as they’re a matched set.

And don't forget inner wheel bearing seals to go with those mew bearings.

Has anyone had any experience with this set? https://www.1aauto.com/ford-ranger-...tor-kit-trq-bka11146/i/1abfs01355/674462/1997

The price looks real good but I've never used the vendor/brand.
