Default After storage, what things do you notice?

My ITR was in storage for a while, I just took it out. Heres what I noticed. My main concern is I'm hearing a faint squeaking noise, I'm guessing its coming from a pulley. Maybe some wd-40? Any other suggestions?

My door locks are working oddly.. Some WD-40 there too...

And I'm due for a brake job. I was going to use wheel bearing grease on the boots for the calipers, any other suggestions?

Other than that, and my one time very very odd 2000 rpm idle, the car seems fine. I can't tell if its sluggish or what because I haven't driven it in forever..

Well then my car is a complete pansy

As long as you take the necessary precautions before storage, there should be no ill effects after rmoving it from storage

You're telling me. I've been taking my 91 Escort 1.9 on all my recent road trips. You couldn't imagine how difficult it is to pass someone on a 2 lane hwy, takes me 10 seconds longer than normal waiting for that thing to move

yea well, "storage" is 9 months at school

So, should I use wheel bearing grease for my brake caliper piston boot?
