No pics but there’s not much to “see” on a dirty/stuck caliper/bracket/pin. You’d need a touch-o-vision kinda thing to appreciate how ‘stuck’ it was.
Took the car to get front bearings replaced. Procrastinated b/c I didn’t have time to take the knuckle out (would have been free to press in/out but I’d have to take a long trip back and forth). Decided to pay the $160 (+ own parts) let the shop do it. Rides so much smoother!
Up next, replacing both belts, idler, and compressor clutch bearing. Then figure out the erratic rough idle (suspect PCV).

Flushing coolant and power steering fluid for the first time today.
Edit - The 5's power steering pump has had a high pitched whiney sound the life of the car, which I assumed was normal. After the flush, it's almost silent. Not sure if it's a revised OEM fluid, or what, but very happy to hear it basically silent now.

Road trip! Drove to top of Mt. Washington (NH), Quebec City, Montreal, and home. Lots of miles. Only damage was a heat shield from the mid-section came loose from a bump (I think). Got some aluminum foil tape ready to go.
Took it yesterday to have the hail damage assessed.
Set up an appointment for PDR and replacement of the roof rails, which took a beating in the hail, but also had previous damage from when I did something stupid, so I'm pretty happy about how this storm worked out!

Got rid of the useless oem fogs and installed Nolden led drl lights in the sport oem fog covers.
Those look good

Not sure I follow… Isn’t the LED just as useless? Both work equally well for DRL purposes. Mod/Stick in a pair of quality H9 bulbs into the OEM fog housing (does not offend incoming traffic) and it works much better for heavy fog purposes – can’t do that with LED.
