Because mine are dangling out of the caliper and getting intimate with the inside of my alloy wheel 
Is there a technical name to this part? Rough price? Anyone got one??????
Cheers in advance |

erm for them to fall out the slide bar would need to be missing, now thats a feat!
Unless of course the alloys corroded and the carrier has came away. |

ah just had a look at the other side and there seems to be a 'bar' that would appear to 'slide'.
I take it this incident is a thing unheard of then?
How much will one set me back? Anybody got a spare?
silly question, but is the car out of action now until i can get a replacement part?
cheers |

Like the front caliper bolt braking and the caliper hitting the inside of the wheel! |

Reet then! Photo evidence of the culprit...or the lack thereof:
Damage to rim
First glance
Upside-down view of the situation
Shocking
How it should look (opp. side)
...and again
Phoned Halfords and im not sure if the guy knew what i was going on about exactly, but a) he was impressed my 19 had discs all round and b) it was a diesel with discs all round and c) there is a kit available for this sort of thing for £12.04.
Halfords is a bit of a way from me tho so might just go to the nearest motor factors on the morrow. |
