Caliper go bye bye from carrier...

[schmidty]

wow... that just sucks. sorry man. As everyone else said, if you were drivin home after the work was done at the shop talk to them and tell em what happened. Don't be a dick about it though, be kind and professional. If they give you hard time then you can start yellin at 'em. :D

[eko]

If it was after the work was done then some f*ckers head should roll!

[Jscotty]

Florida Evans couldn't not have been as mad as that probably made you.

About to get of on my exit, and all of sudden I hit a bump and BOOM...the car starts pulling to the right really hard.

i say you hit a really deep bump that damaged the carrier and the wheel.

sorry to hear about this. i know it'l be close to impossible to find the same wheel you have now.

[dude8383]

HOLY SHIT! Weren't you trying to sell those wheels too?

no way! I just bought them!!!

ouch, sucks what happened. shoot blueapplesoda a PM; he makes brake lines for a living, im pretty sure you two can work something out.

Yeh, I'll see if he can help out!

what kind of bump did you hit ?!

The bump was rather small! I've hit it before because this is the exit I take home!

HOLY FUCK. Good luck finding a replacement wheel. :(

This is the most disappointing part of it all!

I'm going to see if this can get repaired though.

i have some girlings ill sell for cheap

Thanks, I'll let you know man.

glad you got off safely, that blows! I doubt the shop took your calipers off for the control arms, but shit, you got lucky imo.

I know, I was thinking about this! I'm glad this is ALL that did happen.

Did this happen on your way home from getting the rotors turned? If so, go after the shop for compensation. They might have forgotton to tighten everything up...

That is crazy. Glad you and your car made it out ok (except your wheel/brake). Call Turner, they sell SS lines seperatly and only costs like $30 shipped.

Very good point. I'll give them a call!

I've hit this bump before, honestly I have no choice because of how the exit is designed!

Yes, finding another rim is going to be painful.


Thanks for the responses dudes, I will keep the thread updated.

Currently try to source:

Strut with wheel bearing
Bridgestone Tire
ACT rim ... long shot!

I'm going to contact AC Nico and see if he can be on the look out!

Nope, I went to get a quote and was told to come back around 4!

where did you get those "bran new" rotors from?
maybe those are to blame as well. a defect or something.

[MR 325]

Wow!

[Jscotty]

Rotors will warp if you do not tighten down the lugs evenly and if you do not use the set screw that keeps the rotor on the hub. Also I have been told that you should resurface the rotors when they are new because they can warp on the shelf. I am not sure I believe this because I bought a new pair last year and just cleaned off the protective coating and they worked fine.

[CleanAzzE30z]

Wow Ive literally never seen that......literally.

Warped on the shelf? Man that warehouse must have been hot inside.

its a LONG shot, but wheel collision center out of bath, PA might be able to do something with that rim. they work wonders, ask me how i know.

I do not think I would trust anyone that put that wheel back together.


As for SS lines, I have a full set minus one front line. I picked them up from BMP because I had a problem unlike yours. Id kick you the set minus one front line for $40 shipped. PM me and let me know!

Patrick @ BMA.

I'm definitely not blaming him, because he's the man! Hopefully he can get me replacements!
