Default Well that's not right

So i just got back from a deployment and my wife said the rover is pulling to one side when she brakes. I had ordered upgraded pads and rotors before hand so i had parts waiting. So i took the rover to the hobby shop and started on replacing the rotors and pads when i saw this:




Yup, anyway i installed the new pads and rotors.



Of course with the help of my lovely wife.

That's unbelievable,!!!
Not the broken disc , because I have seen a few that broke or even exploded,,,
But the fact that it didn't lock the wheel,!! And was just pulling to one side,,
Consider yourself unlucky for broken disk,
But also very very lucky , that your wife didn't get into an accident because of that broken disc,,,
Even Caliper piston could have poped out and lost all break fluid,,
She is one lucky Lady,

Haven't seen that before.

Btw, I just bought the same DBA rotors for my truck! Can't wait to put them on.

How much did you pay for that brake set up if you don't mind me asking? I think my Disco needs front and rears both done

CarID.com is selling each rotor for $116.94. Cheapest I've been able to find. Shipping was fairly quick.

"It just started making noise the other day."

Thanks for the tip on the rotors!
