Your rear A/C condensate water is not draining properly. Lay down by your tailpipe and look above it to locate the drain that looks like a rubber wedge. Use some weedeater line to dislodge debris inside it and let drain. If you live in a very dusty area, this will be a recurring issue.
You cannot trust an old tire like that, it is liable to go BOOM on you and tear up all sorts of stuff in the process.
This is why you should try to find a spare rim also and get in the habit of doing 5 tire rotations.
If you have not made it a routing to check and unclog the rear a/c condensate drain, now is a good time. It is located at the rr corner of the vehicle about the exhaust tip. Look for the a/c hoses entering the cabin, look just infront of them for a black nipple and manipulate it. you can use...
I had found plastic rocker panel covers on Ebay. I did fix the holes in the rear wheel wells where water was getting in and cut out the rust and sprayed rust inhibitor. IDK if those rocker panel covers are still available, but they did fine for me.
If I recall correctly- there are no wear points on the bushings. what you are hearing is the metal sleeve rubbing on the frame, probably not properly torqued.
I do not understand how the dealer could not bleed the brakes and left it at that... I would remove that bleeder valve and replace it. Flush all the lines with good brake fluid. If you are pulling a heavy trailer, I would be looking at trailer brakes.
As to upgrading the front brakes to larger...
Theres a TBS on that and updated hardware. All that secures them in place is one clip, the shoe gets to move around a drag. The updated parts come with more hardware, but I could not figure it out, still have no parking brake at all.
Whenever working on these and you know you have little or no pressure, I always replace both the low and high side service valves. Too many times they ended up leaking after charging r134.
