so yesterday i was driving down rockester road when i started to hear a loud clicking/rubbing. i paused my cd player to get a better sence of the sound. i decided that my wheelberings pretty much just blew, i was less then a mile from home so i thought maby i will make it home. it was 4:15 and dai have a eye doceter appointment at 4:30 so i was just gonna take the other car. right when im thinking this my passengers wheel locks up, so now im skidding at 35 mph on a curved road with cars all around me. i put my car in nutral and that didnt help so i put it back in drive and slid it into a parking lot entrace. i start looking at my car, looking at my brakes, my steering, and e brake, well what happend was my top capiper bolt came out making my caliper lock against my wheel and stopping me, people yelled at me to move but i was stuck. i got my car to move my inching it forward and pushing in the brake caliper. well i bought this car a couple weeks ago, they did the brakes, do you think i may have something here? that was something they did the day before, or that day that i got it. i almost got rammed by oncoming traffic, i almost DIED! i gottta have some lawsuit, or something!

 

wow that happend to me also it was my fron pass wheel. i was driving along and started to hear a funny noise hit my brakes and poof my wheel locked up only drive in reverse i got lucky and was coming to a red light but it ate my new rim all up.. i found that it was my top bolt also that had backed out. i did my brakes about a month before that. And i know i got them bolts good and tight i doubled checked and all.. i shoulda used loctite...

Guy at works son had the same thing , just bought the car , New brakes and tires installed , locked up NO bolts in the front caliper wedged on the wheel

 

I can feel the pain. I am gonna do my brakes today, I'll make sure to triple check the torque! Last thing I need is for my caliper bolts come loose!

 

yea, i was pretty upset when that happend...
