I wish I could say that was rare. But I've seen three rotors like that in the past month. Looks like a ring gear.

oh geez, not another one! that has a nice uniform cut though. and the braking surface didn't break from the hub so at least it still worked, a little.

hanging caliper on the drivers side i guess. never pulled though, weird.

and yeah, rusted like that....probably because we mostly only use them in the winter for plowing/salting, only a few times in the summer for hauling dirt/rocks/whatever...we actually used this truck all summer hauling around catch basin blocks to rebuild catch basins, i drove it a lot of that time and never felt anything weird
