Unfortunatly, I have seen brakes like that before. Ironicly one of the victims was the service writer at the shop I worked at. Needless to say, we made sure he will never live it down!!!

ive actually seen 1 on a cavalier when i worked at chevy , that was worse

the rotor was actually 2 pieces , and the car stoped normal


it just made a funny noise going in and out of the ladies driveway , and parking lots , cause the rotor would bounce on the rim , LOL


although both surfaces of the rotor looked good , not 1 side worn like those above

I've never seen a rotor like that... I have seen one where a guy ran the car down to, and part way through, the caliper piston...

Thats pretty bad but, I saw a truck at my buddy's house that was worse. The face of the rotor had broken off of the hub part.

the caliper is sticking then. just thought i'd let you know that you're gonna need a new one for that side (might as well put on a driver's one as well, they're only $15 a piece)








but, damn, that is pretty bad.
