siiickk...how does that even happen?

Seized caliper or sliders will do that.

see how there's lots of meat left on the visable pad, but the otherside is missing completely?

Looks like the caliper piston ate through the rotor.

I wish I had a camera at work for this kind of awesome. It's usually a wheel bearing or balljoint about to fall apart completely and the customer will just bring it in cuz of a noise they've been hearing.... I've seen a few rotors down to the vents though, orange wheel and all.

to answer your question properly pedro-bear, pure ignorance makes this happen.

Holy shit. Ive never seen a rotor like that. Saw the front rotors to the vents, customer complaining of brake noise.

whoa:eek:

Wow that is crazy!!

Also, look at how much rust there is on the brakes and suspension of that car. Wherever it is, they use a lot of salt on the roads.

it was taken at a shop in russia. car was a late-model mercury grand marquis.

What's with you and all these russian cars?

The RB lada, Buthered Merc, now this. ;)

i know! there is a whole website full of this stuff :) :

seeing that much rust, i'm not so sure routine brake maintenance would have helped

What's holding that ring of metal (the outer edge of the rotor) in place? JUST the caliper?

That must be a whole load of kilometers for the rears to do that. Somewhere around the order of 500,000km?

wow u sure thats not a car taken out of the water?

that and a sh*tload of rust...

I feel bad for the guy to has to work on that =(

that is absolutely insane


its like cement

wow

those mercs are RWD too right?

that is just retarded!!!! I guess the rotors cannot be cut anymore

its more "why looking at your wheels once in awhile could save your life"

thumper is obsessed with that website. :haha:

but damn that is NASTY.

yup i am... i can't help it! it's so full of fail :haha:

ahahahahah! thats the best one i have seen so far .thats just stupid lol.

I work at a brake shop and thats all i see. SO many retards.

Look guys, the car is more than likely a flooded car.. notice the bushings, joints are all rusted out.. and having been moved for a long time.. it is more than likely the car was towed with brakes on / seized and it just wore away.
