yeah so the guy said he heard it making a lot of noise but continued to drive anyways, for a longggg timeeee! well it eventually stopped making noise because the rotors broke in two after the calipers froze and wore out the braking surface! effing amazing!!!!:shock::shock::shock: jeeeeeeez

[LTb1ow]

Who need brakes anyways?

[sweetbmxrider]

well bubba didn't :lol: and apparently this guy! his rears are wiped too along with tires. this had to get done first though!

[WildBillyT]

I'm just stunned that the brakes kept on working after losing that much material. Maybe the rear brakes took most of it over.

[pound]

WTF dude how did that guy even stop the car driving around like that? Were those the fronts or rears?

[sweetbmxrider]

yeah they are metal on metal in the rear. it is amazing though!

pound, fronts 8-)

[GP99GT]

what
the
****.

[pound]

wow did it wear totally through the pads and start grinding on the calipers too?

[sweetbmxrider]

surprisingly, pads still had the metal backing.....

[EchoMirage]

ive seen it before. someone did nearly the same with a late 80s full size dodge SUV

[Frosty]

Wow...

[//<86TA>\\]

thats amazing:shock:

[Teds89IROC]

brakes are overrated lol unbelievable

[NJSPEEDER]

That is a little scary. I bet the guy is pissed his bill is so high too even though some simple maintenance would have made all parts involved last longer and would have cost less.

:nod: some people amaze me

[Featherburner]

Just bend the indicators back so they don't squeal. :rofl:

[Ktulu990]

CRAZY!!!

[crazyblazer87]

I've seen that on a 2000 chevy pick up before. He said he heard a loud noise then his brakes didn't work so well.

[GP99GT]

put those rotors on a lathe, theyll be fine

[sweetbmxrider]

exactly. turn them into rear rotors. single face, no cooling fins. $$

[BigAls87Z28]

Been there a few times, and sued the first time. Guy's daughter said we took advantage of an old black man. Gave him back his 2 grand. We ended replacing everything that wasnt the lines, and he got it all for free because he came in for a battery.

[sweetbmxrider]

ouch, we called and got approval....

[Scrat's_Camaro]

funny thing you say that cause my buddy had a front rotor like that on his sunbird. he wore right past the fins!!! they were practically gone!! The calipers were obviously toast especially when the piston was rubbing on the rotor and half of the brakepad backing was left jammed on the caliper. He said he noticed a slight noise so he had me check them out...yeah how slight was the noise and for how long. lol I should have kept the rotor and the other pieces and weld up a trophy with them for him to keep.

[JL8Jeff]

And that's why people think American made cars don't last compared to imports! The owners are too cheap for basic maintenance and run the vehicles into the ground for no reason. Meanwhile, the import owner gladly pays out the @ss for routine maintenance even if they don't need it. I would love to see that Jeep try to go through inspection. :rofl:

[BigAls87Z28]

ouch, we called and got approval....

So did we. Hell the guy was there and saw the destruction. We had the same thing, only on all 4 (rear rotors had a thickness of 1/8 of an inch). It was for a mid 90's Town Car. Airbags were blown out too, but that was the least of his worries.
2-piece rotors, the brake pistions came out of the caliper, and the master had a small puddle still.
He left after we replaced 4 rotors, calipers, pads, new fluid, master and booster as well as 2 hoses in the front. He also got a battery and an alt.
About a week later, his daughter came back yelling at us. We even showed her pictures that we took just cause we thought it was funny. She said she didnt care, that we forced him into buying it and that we ripped him off.

[BonzoHansen]

Al will tell you, if you work on cars for awhile you see that every so often.

damn that blows. i hate people who don't understand ****'s ****ed up and needs to be replaced, NOW! and having the owner's approval is more than enough, you could have gone to small claims court i bet. ****in people.

i did have a similar situation, first time seeing another jeep grand cherokee. chick tells me the car pulls left when she hits the brakes. i check it out and the passenger rotor is in two pieces. it wasn't worn like these, just snapped like them. her father was being so cheap, i'm thinking, dude, this is your daughter's life. she hasn't had a license for 6 months, and you are going to half ass this thing back on the road???? gawd dayum!!:-x

[The Fixer]

I know a lot of people wait until there's a "real" problem before they have their vehicles serviced. My father-in-law said to me one day, "You know, my brakes feel a little funny, like they push the pedal back when you step down on them." So he brought his truck by my house one day and I pulled the wheel off. The pads were worn down to the metal, and when I pulled the caliper off, they came out in three pieces. At least the rotor was still together though!

Man, that's the first time I've seen a rotor look that bad - that's insane! I can't believe the guy still drove like that, there must have been some serious "thumpthumpthumpthumpthump" every time he drove it. Plus, most of the braking is done with the front wheels, so how did he even stop that thing without plowing into someone!????

[edpontiac91]

What really bothers me is that this is the same JO that will tailgate you at 75 mph and GOD help you if you have to brake REALLY hard to avoid something and this AHOLE can't stop and takes out your life because they are too cheap to look into the problem! :evil:

[Savage_Messiah]

I wanna get my mercedes brakes to that point :lol:

[jims69camaro]

how can you ignore a noise like that for so long? :banghead: :rock:

[Jersyboyy]

Mini messiah if you get your brakes to this point your knocking 300 off your asking price fo 500 for the car.
