So I gotta tell you a scary and ****ed up story that happened yesterday.
I got home from work and my cousin stopped by and asked me to come up to his house and look at his brakes. His buddy had just done pads and rotors the night before.
I go up there and jack it up, and you can pull the wheel in/out almost 2 INCHES
on both sides.
I get the wheels off the front end and see there's metal shavings everywhere. The outer brake pad and the inner bearing was missing on both sides and the spindle nuts were just hand tightened. And the hubs were locked. There wasnt even grease on the inner RACE where the bearing was supposed to be. The seal was ruined on both sides needless to say.
We needed to go get all new bearings, races, seals, and pads again just bc some dumb shit wasnt man enough to say he couldnt do it right.
It kinda scared the shit outa me that there's pple out there that can do something like this.
