So yeah... my car had the typical symptoms of "warped" rotors so i thought because it was doing the usual shaking/pulsing when braking. This morning i decided it had gotten to the point where i definitely needed to spend the money and replace the rotors and pads, or at least have the rotors turned. i looked at the rotors and they appeared to be barely worn so when i got to O'Reillys i just got a scotchbrite pad and decided i was going to try to scuff the rotors and pads to see if that helped, even just temporarily before buying everything. I get home, take the wheel off and pulled the caliper and the pads were practically new.(I just purchased the car 1,000 miles ago so i didnt know what the situation was with the brakes.) anyway, when i got the caliper off, the rotor just like wabbled around and i was like WTF!!!??? the 4 outer hub plate nuts werent even finger tight!!

The guy i bought the car from didnt know anything about cars at all and took it to the shop any time it needed something so i know he didnt do it... Some moron who replaced the rotors just forgot to tighten them... how do you miss that!

So anyway, i tightened them and obviously had to double check the other side which was fine. I found the repair records and just 5,000 miles ago Brake Depot replaced the front rotors and pads. Nice job guys!!

 

Sheesh...scratch those guys off the list of places to get work done...

 

WOW, thats is a lawsuit on their part. Good thing it did not become a safety hazard for you and were able to fix it before something bad happened.
