Stupid brakes and ideas?
 
ok well i always seem to have trouble with my stupid brakes with warping and and squealing so ive changed my brakes like 10 times but i finally just got cross drilled slotted rotors all the way around and ceramic pads a while ago and that fixed that problem but the other day i was driving and i freakin broke the bolts off the caliper that holds the caliper to that arm :banghead: i took everything apart and it looked like it was a clean break and so i just bought new bolts and tried to put them in but now they both wont line up at the same time :mad: , i cant see how either the caliper or the arm could bend that is thick metal anyone have any ideas? im just gonna mess with it today and see if i can figure it out but id like some input if u guys think it might be something else

i meant any ideas not and ideas in the title

I had the rear one on the gp do that yesterday, it shouldn't have bent unless you went a little ways like that, the bracket may have bent though since they are not that thick

i was hoping u would write back lol but i went like 5 feet so that i didnt damage it and it looks fine i guess im gonna have to just mess with it and see if i can get it to work
