Default Brakes, Struts, finally found the squeak

I just finished replacing all of the brakes, rotors and drums all around.

Stock rear drums and pads, with Brembo Rotors and stop tech pads, VHT paint on the Calipers

I had previously installed Koni Yellows at all four corners with Eibach springs, in addition to Russell SS braided and silicone coated lines.

During the front brake installation I found the source of the squeak that I have had for over a year. The retaining clip used to hold the flexible and hard line in place is simply a e-clip and provides no tension on the lines to keep them from moving in the body mounted retainer. I greased it up to prove it and it worked, now back to Majestic for the original clips.

I beaded in the brakes and the whole system is really much better than the tired system I replaced.

Next on the to-do list is to replace the lower control arm bushings in the front with Moog replacements. I particularly interested in how the the compliance bushing will feel since it is not a stock replacement but one with an actual spherical bearing. Will post pictures.
