Friendly Safety reminder!!

Just a friendly reminder here for all of us gear-heads out there. I bought my DD about a month and a half ago, and had been hearing some grinding in the rear brakes, so i decided to do them today. This is what I came across on my passenger rear brakes.

So this is just a friendly reminder for all of us to be safe, this could have EASILY killed me, someone I love, or a random driver because of a shop that sold this vehicle to me with brakes in this type of shape without checking them first. ALWAYS Check work done by others! I am taking responsibility for this, but just imagine what could have happened if the rotor separated while at high speeds and launched a brake pad. In the first picture you can see it already sliding around on the rotor, hence why its out of the bracket.

So to wrap it up, just be safe and when in doubt, check it out!
