Default Re: Another Brake Failure in Stock @ ENNIS DIV4

We had a rotor hat bolt back out last year and about chew the caliper bracket in half! Wilwood sent a new one and said it was fairly common. Shouldn't ever happen if you ask me. Just follow ALL directions during assembly and most of these things are avoidable. We didn't use the wire through the bolts either, thinking we would just check them periodically...didn't work.

PS: The way we discovered this was during staging, dad couldn't get the car to "creep" forward consistantly. Sometimes it would take a little throttle and the car would lurch forward, staging too deep. The bolt would hang up on the rear caliper bracket, causing an inconsistant drag. He was very fortunate something bad didn't happen.
