“Cute girl came to get her oil changed and to check this “slight” grinding coming from her brakes… she didn’t fix it and had to sign a wavier releasing stupidity”
Imagine the noise it would make during breaking… a new level of ignorance has been unlocked.
Lol!!!
OK, I think you made this on some type of shop equipment, put it back on, and took a photo
I really cannot believe this
Seems like something you should have called the cops on. That’s got to be some kind of equipment violation that would get the car off the road before she kills someone.
New high tech slotted rotor?
Oh no, it happens. This is what happens when a shitty shop only ever replaces the pads on a vehicle. I can’t believe there’s that much of the backing plate of the pad left. I’ve had to replace a caliper before because the customer let it go so long it wore through the pad and some of the caliper piston.
I have seen this before too, though not quite to that level…
I just did brakes on a car that looked like this. He told me it was shaking a little and stopping slow so he wanted to make sure that the pads were ok.
This happened to my new used truck. The brakes had no squeaker to warn when they were warn out and the inside pad was the problem. We were down in the states on vacation and had to get home but I never got it that low but i was about 2 mm away from that. and it makes one hell of a mess. Either way got it all fixed with the best brakes money can buy for that truck.
It happens when you install cheep ass pads with no squeaker. they ware down until there is no material left then its steel on steel and that is what destroys it and fast. Your biggest problem is it will get so low you’ll pop the piston out and you’ll press the brakes and oh… doesn’t work. Then you have to e-brake to stop. Once the pistons out you will lose most brake pressure and most of your oil. then your caliper needs a rebuild or a new one. She sounds like a winner.

This is all very common. I had a customer who was complaining that the vehicle was not moving in reverse. My tech went outside to pull the vehicle in. As he was backing up.The brake pad backing plate shot out of the caliper. The customer wanted nothing done. I made him tow it home.
OMG.
It would be a J Body.
guys, just to make it clear. this wasn’t a personal experience. Some mechanic on Reddit posted the pic up. unfortunately, there was no more details on this story aside from the title and the pic.
facepalm
Am I seeing things or does that not even look like the correct rotor the way it fits on the studs?
thats normal.
its off topic fyi the friction/grip caused by compression from tightening the wheels nuts prevents the disk from wobbling. thats why torquing the nuts evenly(in pattern) and accurately (all the same tightness) is important,
Looks OEM to me.
I knew a girl back in the day who drove on a flat tire for 3 days or something ridiculous. She was a blonde air head, said she drove back and forth to work a couple days felt it bouncing and hard to steer didnt think to look at the tires she said she would know what she was looking at anyways. Finally while on the 90 driving to the mall (of course) the tire ripped apart ripped the fender and bumper off, so what does she do? wait for… it wait for it… yep she get out of the car and stands on the hood so ppl would see her and not run into her car… honest to god i could not make this shit up.
Lmfao
