Remember this when you think about how there are no longer safety inspections in NJ.

I let this happen to my truck over the Summer. The brakes never squealed but I knew they were getting bad. And then when I finally got around to it, I couldn't believe I still had brakes.

Ive had it where I pulled the rear wheel off of an Explorer and the rotor was split into an inner ring and an outer ring. That was pretty bad

Not bad. I had half of a hub bearing come off with a brake rotor the other day.
