The shop got in a mid nineties Oldsmobile this morning. Complaint was squealing brakes.
Upon inspection... The left front had no brake pads or steel pad backing left. The rotor was running against the outer caliper mount and directly against the caliper piston. Which had been friction welding/torn off the complete inner rotor face and the piston cocked and almost out of its bore.:spank:
The right front also had no brake pads and the pad steel backings were worn to less than .010 thick.. Rotor surface looked like a plowed field..ain:
They had just came in from I-75.
A real safe car for freeway driving,, right?:thumbup:
