LOL, you can see the rear diff in the first picture. Def

I wonder how many miles were put on it before looking at it. I could see a chick saying, “it pulls to the left a little when I hit the brakes, but it stops okay…”

I’m glad you finally got a decent daily driver, that M3 was getting too ricey for the job.

Sure that makes for a killer front brake bias 🙂

Wow. Just wow. That is the worst I’ve ever seen. I can’t believe there’s still that much of the outer pad left though.

I saw something comparably bad on the front brakes of an Alero once. Must be a domestic thing. The rotor was almost totally apart in two pieces, kinda like a two piece rotor would come apart, only this one wasn’t supposed to. The caliper wasn’t doing anything and it was just zip tied on, it was actually amazing it wasn’t hitting the wheel.

HTF did they manage that… I’ve seen some FUBAR brakes before, but that takes the cake…

I was going to say “the pad looks relatively new…” but there’s nothing there to wear down the pad. ☹
