So last week i got my trd lowering springs in and was going to put them in and my friends decided to come over and help hahaha. well we were doing great i mean had all four struts out and had the springs changed over in about an hour. so we did new rotors and pulling the old ones off my friend breaks a bolt on the puller. ugghhh right. so then we get that all sorted out and i start driving it. everytime i hit a bump in the road the driver side was making a god awful noise. i thought maybe the springs were adjusting them selves and kept going. well it kept making this noise for like 2 days and i got sick of it. put the car up and take the tire off take the strut out thinking it was something to do with that. boy was i wrong!! just after i took the strut out i noticed that the caliper looked weird. well my friend (the same one that broke the bolt) forgot to bolt the caliper back up so it was just bouncing around when i hit bumps!! luckily no one was hurt and no damage done to the car but the best part is he is in college right now to become a mechanic haha. thought someone might get a chuckle out of this smile.gif

see the thing was i was more worried about the struts or something with those not being right. and the fact that he is in college for that stuff and me and him went to high school together and did brake jobs all the time in an auto class i didnt even look at the brakes thinking that he was capable of doing something simple like htat hahaha
