Safety Belt Ray….
The hub plate is bent you can see it if you back off.
the bracket bent over due to previous accident
Hey Ray the alignment rack needs to have the lift cables adjusted. You can hear the locks don’t all click at the same time when you are lifting..
Looks to me like the axal has moved outward judging by the clean shiny part by the axle seal. How's the other side look?
need more pins of shame in videos
I think that shimming the caliper bracket out would be more of a hack for a hack job than just exchange it for a new/used part. Oh h*** just go ahead put a weld bead on it🤣
Positive comment for the YouTube algorithm.
You should really wear your seatbelt when driving on main roads.
Tisk tisk.
I know your a mechanic and your in and out of cars all day but man, driving on main roads with no seatbelt is just down right dangerous.
What would have happened if you got mysteriously Tee boned by a high speed stolen car … no more YouTube videos for your fans = Sad panda
"UNobtainium" best word I have heard in the longest time.
Sounds to me like loose and/or worn spindle/ hub bearings causing the rotor to pitch when turning.
Couldn't you have just filed the bracket so it won't be grinding anymore?
In my shop I always look for Millage "numbers" like 112233 or 121212 that sort of thing I will test drive a car to settle the clock to a point of just before on on that magic number on the odometer
I think those are 22s
It’s true, those GM bracketed calipers have become hard to get ahold of. The Core has risen to as much as the part itself is. I work at Autozone and I get tons of upset customers these days. If you find a good deal on something right now, you better get it while you can.
You are awesome. I love the way 🤔
Gm=ass
Thank you Ray. You are super knowledgeable and thorough. I always learn from you great content.
Shim. Really?! Come on bro.
It's got brake discs and brake shoes in a hub on the same wheel??? Am I seeing things???
axle end float ?
excessive axle end-float
?
excessive axle endfloat ?
Any chance the aftermarket rotors were machined wrong? How would that bracket get bent?
ray was there a chance that someone replaced the rotor on the grinding side with one that had the wrong offset. may be rotor for wrong option package or year of car?
That thing is a dinosaur, surprised it still runs…….
The escalard is a properly vulgar vehicle
I want that torque wrench. So shiny! Such a satisfying sound!
Leaning toward axle shaft end play. I don't see how this bracket could get bent. If the car hit a curb, the rim would be trashed, not a caliper bracket.
just a thought Is it possible the chinesium drilled and slotted rotors were made wrong ? I have had this issue with rear rotors form oreilly on 1500hd / 2500 chevys they were machined too thick and were incorrect depth for center of caliper
I have just one question, how the hell did that get bent like that, was this vehicle in an accident?
how tf does a caliper/caliper bracket get bent lol.. someone tried to put on wrong offset wheels maybe?
Use a DTI on the axle or worst on rotor then spin to see runout! Good lord tho is so simple!
GM trash
Dial indicator is much easier. You had it a part.
"Not supposed to be able to use one of these with one hand"
The first lift I learned to use was at a small town GM dealership and their lifts were of the two-post hydraulic type that had floor-mounted levers that you used your feet on. Easy enough but they didn't lift at the same speed due to the front end of most every car is heavier due to the engine and if you had a diesel or big block pickup on there, you really had to watch out.
And…the floor levers put you right in front of the vehicle so if you got distracted, you could conceivably drop it off the front post right into your chest.
Hello. I have requested where your shop is located so I can take my SUV and wife's Truck to you and your shop. Please, let me know where your shop is located. Thank you
As thorough as you usually are, I'm surprised you didn't pop the differential cover and check for side-to-side movement of the axle shafts. A spider gear shim kit might be all that's required to restore proper clearance. Just a guess since I wasn't as close to the problem as you. Your videos are addicting. Keep up the good work and hello from Tennessee.
You know what they say about guys in white vans ,,lol,
Fucking hate those heads. The Hawkeye elite is bad ass.
I am thinking of the occasion of bearing disallinment on the rotor hub. A change on bearings and rotors is a possibillity
common problem with Chevy's. That's what happens when you over tighten the caliper bolts with an air impact. Someone effed up. If it isn't that it's the damn pad retainer clips, always good to clean them with a wire wheel on used parts as well. Some folks are cheap and don't care if you simply grind the bracket for clearance or shim it as long as it works, we make them sign off on that kind garbage though.
