So I'm driving last night, and everything's fine. Then I hear something metallic clang on the concrete as I'm driving. Next time I brake at a stop light, My front left makes a HORRIBLE metal-on-metal screech. Never heard anything like it before. I pulled over, but it being almost 11pm, I couldn't see very well, but when I jacked the car and took the wheel off, I'm pretty certain I couldn't see the inner brake pad. The outer was for sure there.

..........Or the installer didnt tighten the "A" caliper bolt and the caliper on braking swings upward like a child's swing set, this give the pad enough room to fly out. I've seen it done before, I've done it to myself.
