so this dude from work calls me and says his brakes made a loud noise and grinding, I had looked at them a couple weeks ago and told him that he needed pads and rotors...well I pulled his tire off and this is what I saw

But all that didnot happen in a cpuple months, that damage for the most was alreadythere.
That goes to show, that a visual brake is not important, and the brake test skid machine is a piece of crap. A roller brake machine would of caughtt that.

i often wonder when i see stuff like that, how come people keep driving a car when obviously the brakes don't feel right / make strange noises ? :bash:
