Bad rebuilt caliper

[Walt jr]

Waiting for my parts guy to bring another but I thought I would share this, I’m doing a four wheel brake job on a one ton dump truck and decided I did not like the feel of the rear calipers, long story short I like to test fit these shim style ones before I cut the rotors etc and ran into this ” over welded ” one that seemed to slip thru the inspection process at over 1/8″ too big. This seems to be an isolated incident but something to watch out for.

It sucks when you find things like that. We’ve had a cv axle show up after a week of waiting on it just to find no threads for the nut.
