I got off work friday (2nd shift) and I got a terrible violent shake on my way to the gas station. Felt like warped rotor only worse. I limped home at 25 mph and avoided braking. What is normally a 1hr commute took 2 and a half. Today I took off the wheel and this is what I found. https://fbcdn-photos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/419254_421697557918042_1307921349_n.jpg

So basically the metal is gone on the inside of the rotor. What does the unit bearing look like?

You know that just doesn't make any sense. Everything is turning together, other than the caliper. Was the caliper rubbing on it?

Heard of this before, never fun. Most likely badly made product.

Everything is snug behind the wheel. No rattles, no rubbing. I think that one was just a bad part, in combin Wwwation with the copious amounts of road salt here in NE Ohio.
