Caliper go bye bye from carrier...

[Tree18is]

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

[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 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.

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!

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.

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

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

[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

[MikeE30325i]

damnit! that bump musta been a fucking whopper! look at the tire!

glad you are alright, sorry about the rim though. damn caliper punched right through the rim......

[eko]

Shit man that is scary!

[ivo316]

So I went to visit a shop to get the rotors cut...I was told to come back at 4.

Were you picking the car up with the job done ?

Or you were told to come back at 4 to do the job ?

If they did it and that happened they should fix it, and compensate you for the scare.. :curse:

[M42Technik]

You go back to those stupid fucking assholes who need to be raped with the parts that broke off, in the ass, with no lube.

What the fuck kind of incompetent bitch would do that, I don't know.

[FredK]

That must have been one LOUD boom!! Wow. That is carnage! Good to hear you were able to stop OK and inspect the damage. It could have been a lot worse!
