    I would think so! Didn't you notice?

    Just out of interest how thick is it? From memory the minimum thickness is 11mm or could it be 13mm?

    I have never seen a rotor worn through like that.......good effort.

    Not sure about your safety standards.

    Note to self don't travel in your car.....

    How far to the closest pub?

    Depends on how far to the closest pub. Under 2 hours until 3pm. No calls after 3pm on a Friday.

    It also pulls a little to the right. Do you think it's the wheel bearings?

    Not sure what vehicle, but apparently owned by some woman (no - not Mrs Spud) who "thought it was making some funny noises"!

    Must be a gen X or Y car.
    There is one on Exploroz asking if the low beam on one light doesn't work is it a fuse??? Doh!
    Son in law commodore "made funny noise one day". I went to the side of the road where it had stopped to find front wheel bearings totally disintegrated and inner track welded to the stub. Had to force my daughter to go to the nearest house and beg power for my Dremel.Brake pads at <0.5MM.


    They may be ace on computers but often deficient in real world survival skills.
    Regards Philip A

    Not just gen X and Y.
    I boughjt my dear mum a Volvo wagon, she drove over something and pulled the sump guard from the car. She lives in Adelaide hills(Aldgate) and kept driving it, she did hear a noise but paid little attention, at the local servo and a kind person pulled her up and mentioned there were sparks eminating from under the car at times. She thought it was a joke and kept driving another week till the local coppa pulled her over because she drove at night.
    The bash plate almost totally worn away, severel other stuff bend and twisted and repairer could not believe how she was driving it.

    Some people should just not have a car or be driving.
