i dont think you had it as bad as me bro, my caliper to steering knuckle top bolt fell out, top of caliper fell down and wedged my wheel and locked it up,

i had just exited the highway and had almost came to a stop, about 20mph, all of a sudden wheels locked up and i screetched tires, car would not move.

i heard something bang under the car about a few miles back.

luckily caliper and knuckle were salvagable, rim was scratched up pretty good inside, but no real damage. it was a miracle it did not happen on the highway.


i had never even taken the brakes off, previous owner must not have tightened them down.

i got some red loctite and torqued them to manufacturers spec of 147 ft-lbs. none of the bolts have moved since ;-p
