changing the front brake pads was the easiest I've ever come across on a car

The top of the front suspension strut gets full of water. I've seen 08 cars that are so corroded the nut
had to be cut off to replace the spring. I usually liberally dose them with WD40 or similar and a big gob of
grease. Later cars have a rubber cap on them.

Also, bottom ball joints are prone to wear.
