This morning on my way to my daily breakfast run i heard a rubbing noise coming the right side, after i got back home jack up right side turned the wheels noise was coming from front wheel, took the tire off to find the top caliper bolt was missing and the caliper was rubbing the wheel, went auto zone got replacements clean everything up. Now the old saying is if you got lemons (wheels off) make lemonade (repainted my calipers) its was a good day

I would seriously be talking to the person who did my last brake job...

Bat66

I did, i gave him a few choice words but i couldn't be to hard on him though because it was me.

Glad it all worked out. I've never heard of a caliper bolt backing out, who did your brakes last?

Glad you quickly remedied it and all is okay - things happen and happy nothing got damaged!

Thanks,Matt

Maybe a little loctite on the bolt threads would stop this from ever happening again...They make a blue Loctite that stops bolts from moving but is easy to get the bolt out with a socket or wrench, this is what I use....WW

i did a break job in Jan myself, don't know how i mess that up, once my calipers dry I'll put a little loctite on the thread should be good to go.

HAHAHA!! Join the club, bat. I haven't made that error, but plenty others of similar magnitude. Glad you found out the problem.
