Brake Question
I just got new brakes @ Goodyear today. Everything feels good, no noises or anything. well I was looking at them a second ago and noticed something different on the front brakes.
It appears that the drivers side caliper/pad/ect.. is mounted higher on the rotor, and the passanger side is mounted lower. so basically, the brakes aren't mounted at the same height.
Everything felt fine, so i'm just asking if i need to immediately get this fixed or if it's fine the way it is? Thanks.

Re: Brake Question (red95vette)
:cheers:
It would be really difficult for someone to screw this up, since the caliper bolts to the caliper bracket and there are only two holes (front and back, top and bottom) and they aren't adjustable!
If the calipers and therefore the pads are not bolted in, it will affect stopping :smash:
I wouldn't take my car to goodyear for brakes, but it doesn't sound like they got the calipers bolted to the wrong place :rolleyes:
:seeya
:steering:
