Had brake issues for about a year now. Kept getting ABS/TRAC/VSC lights and some brake-related codes. Investigated the front wheel bearings today and I think I found my issue... Had probably ~1/8" slop in the front left wheel bearing.
I tried pulling the flange so I could re-tighten the bearings to see if that would do it but I couldn't remove the flange. It had galled the splines of the CV axle so bad that I had to file them down for 20 minutes just to remove the flange.

After removing the hub I found the spindle to be quite scored... One of the lines is pretty deep. Do I HAVE to replace it, or is that just a "best practice"? Front knuckle prices are not very friendly...

One thing I can at least contribute is that these little harbor freight mini-vice grips are excellent for removing those cone washers. Hammer a flat head into the slit on the washer, give the stud a little tap, then use the vice grips to shimmy the washer off.

Anyways minus a few hundred $$ today but at least I found my problem (hopefully. I'm assuming that was the brake problem).
