In Cali,turning limit is. 060" under new specs.As cheap as brake parts are now,makes no sense.

YEARS ago, about this time of year, on an equally boring, dreary afternoon, "we" were wishing winter was over at the parts store
!!!BOOM!!! a '70's Mopar comes crashing through one of the big front windows, which go down only a foot or so above sidewalk level
Some woman had crashed her Mopar right through our plate glass window. The reason she was coming to the store???
TO RETURN some BRAKE SHOE CORES on the "brake job" her husband had just...."completed"!!!!
The original pictures wouldn't be a Dodge would it? I have had both front rotors do that on my Dakota, not at the same time, the last time I was going to replace the caliper too, but then realized that it was on the opposite from the last time, I wire brushed the caliper bolt real good and pust some grease on the caliper bolts.
Have seen worse, Dad had an Omni (with non vented rotors), had a caliper lock up and broke the rotor from the hat.
ive seen that before also had a car come in on a hook they wore through the entire rear drum on a merc topaz..............but i was working at a ford dealership
yeah pretty much but as a ford grease monkey if you ever think youve seen it all your way wrong!So the horrifying part of this story is that you were working at a Ford dealership?
i have seen worse too,17 years in chrysler dealers,before that 4 years at sears,midas,etc.the stupidity of people never stop to amaze me.....i don't miss automotive feild...If you ever worked on cars for a living you would have seen that and worse. I've never been berated as much as by a woman whose car I refused to release after I inspected it. By law I had the right to have it towed, so I did. To get it in for the "brake inspection" I had to have the 2 other guys I worked with stop it from rolling into the tool boxes. It has NO brakes at all. One front rotor had worn like that, thru the pad backing, the piston had worn through the rotor, and had cocked in it's bore, so all the fluid came out. She wanted to drive it home and said "it just happened".
