Ideally yes, but rotors and pads are different enough these days that it doesn't seem to matter as much as it used to. On some vehicles it is cheaper to replace the rotors than to have someone turn them. I do all my own brake work on my vehicles, and I haven't turned my rotors in years. I do occasionally take a die grinder with an abrasive pad to them if they are glazed or grooved, but not always. Generally a little fine grit paper and some brake cleaner, lube the slides, and bolt it all back up. Having said all that, I haven't put enough miles on my Rams that they needed pads, so I might learn a lesson or two when that time comesMaybe things have changed, but I was always taught if you put in new pads, you turned the rotors to make sure they were smooth and even. (and years before that, turned the drums when replacing the shoes)
So nowadays you can just change the pads and ignore the rotors???

Are they the front or rear swaybar endlinks?I am basically changing the pads and hardware because anything the dealer does will only last a few weeks. The anti rattle clips on the Mopar pads are a bad design. As for the clunk it's the swaybar endlinks I have some on order but they are heavily backorder because they were redesigned due to the amount of failed units being replaced under warranty.
