Okay so I recently had my rear bearing done which means the garage would of had to remove the disk and pads from the back hub right?
Well I drove it away and it was fine for a day, didnt drive it the next day then last night I went out for a bit then realized that every time I'm rolling slow I could hear a slight rotary scrape like the pads where really low on the disk but then it strated to scrape when I was braking generally softly.
I went it early and it the dark so didn't bother having a look.
Went out to Tesco today to drop my misses off at work and the sound was still there so I had a look at the rear brake set-up to make sure it was all okay and to my amazment the outside brake pad was half hanging out and the inner pad wasn't even there!
Obviously this is what is making the scraping noises. There are groves on the disk on both sides and seeing as one pad is missing I can imagine the piston has taken a beating too...
I'm going back to the garage tomorrow due to it being bank holiday and them being closed but would I be entitled to a new pair or disks and pads due to it being bloody dangerous? Or should I ask for them to buy a new set of disks and pads in and fit them myself or get another garage to do it...
I'm guessing they probably left the caliper clip holding the pads in off and they have just slipped out. Never seen it before though! Very pissed off that's for sure!
Anyone had this done to them or seen it happen? What was the outcome?
