Brake caliper bolt fell off, work done from shop.
Okay guys, well few months ago, I smoked a curb bad. Driver side front. I replaced the inner/outer tie rods, sway bar link, lower control arm, and ball joint. My camber was still greatly positive, and very noticable. I brought by the one shop that I trusted to have them look at the frame and what not.
Frame was fine, but it was my knuckle. So my buddy had an extra one lieing around. It had a bad bearing though. Got a new bearing/seal etc. I just brought it to them, and decided to let them do it, they can press the bearing and what not. Get the alignment after all that stuff too.
Well I was on the cruise yesturday (fun stuff, see thread). I was about 10 mi back to Eau Claire when this happened... I pressed on the brake peddle and it was really mushy and I can feel scratching and vibration. I was oh shit, rotors are warped to shit from the cruise...
I went for a walk around the car after my nap last night and found that the brake caliper was halfway off my rotor! I took a pic. The top bolt must have fallen out, so the top half was leaning off the rotor, and the scratching was the caliper scraping the inside of my rim... The bottom bolt was still in.
I'm going to talk to them tomorrow. I want to handle it professionally, not going in and blowing up like some other stupid customer. Any ideas on what I should expect from them? I never bring my car to shop, so I don't know really how to handle one of there services that went wrong.
