Tread on my tire flew off! The damage is unbelievable! (Brake Line P#)
So I was driving down I-15 to pick up my buddy in Vegas at the airport, cruising at 75 when all of a sudden the tread of my left rear tire flew off, severed my brake line, gouged a hole in my trunk about 2 inches wide and 18 inches long and got lodged in between the tire and the caliper all without losing any tire pressure.
It also broke this plastic thing that has a female ball fitting on each end and connects the brake assembly to some kind of metal bar (I also need this part #) as well as demolishing my power antenna. Luckily AAA was able to tow me back to the house.
What a bummer. The Benz has been running flawlessly since it's 2200 mile journey from Ohio to Utah via the Kentucky Derby in May.
