Last Tuesday I spent 6 hours under my truck because of a 4 dollar part I skipped
I swapped my front brake pads two weeks back and skipped the little anti-rattle clips because they looked fine and I was in a hurry. Bad move. Last Tuesday the truck started making this awful clunk every time I hit a bump, so I crawled under there around 8am thinking it was a loose caliper bolt. Turned out the pad was walking in the bracket, and the caliper had gouged a groove in my rotor that I could catch a fingernail on. I lost the whole day, 6 hours and a 1 dollar bottle of thread locker later, plus a 60 dollar rotor I didn't plan on buying. Now I keep a little box of those clips in the toolbox for whenever I do pads. Anyone else ever skip a small part and pay for it way worse than me?
