So some of my friends may remember this thread... As it turned out, my nightmare wasn't over. Once I got the car pieced back together, I drove it for about a week with a strange "clunk" that I just couldn't track down... well I finally found the source of the clunk.

A bolt vibrated out on the expressway... I slowed down, pulled off, checked out everything I could... Couldn't find the bolt on the side of the road and couldn't find it's source. Still had the clunk at this time, any time I hit a bump OR pressed my brakes. I figure maybe I ran over something and kicked it up....

I get home and try to back into my driveway, and the front tires seem to lock up... forward, fine.. reverse.. locks up. I am able to get my face all the way under the car and behind the wheel, and see that one of the bolts from the brake caliper is gone and it's rocking back and forth on the single bolt... FML!

So I let the registration lapse, parked it in my back yard, took it off my insurance. I finally have enough down time to work on it, and I can't find the stinking bolt anywhere... Not even Fastenal!
