brakes - stop your car
breaks - what your car does

Just letting you know for next time!

Do you think that it's possible that the bolts fell off because of someone's mistake? If so, take it back to the shop you repaired your brakes at and ask them to fix it themselves...

i was thinking about it.

when i had my brakes done, i had the axle seals (seal btwn axle and tranny) done as well.

the axle came out of the tranny, so it makes me wonder.

i'm going to get a closer look tommorow and see if that was the cause, or it was something unrelated.

thanks for the offer man, but i wouldn't want to bother ya.

its only 6 bolts and shouldn't be an issue (i HOPE thats all it is).
then it is time to find out why my damn axle wasn't secured in the first place.
