I think it was some sort of 'home brew' long arm with the passenger upper control arm left out. (3 link!  )

So when something like that happens, how do you go about fixing it without catching a spring with your face? I don't know about you, but I'm not a fan of catching springs with my face.

I'm guessing one failed and pulled the other one apart under the stress, taking the brake hose and the ABS sensor wire along with it. I'm amazed the sway bar link is still in one piece. Is there any serious damage to the rim and/or control arm? Root Bear fucked around with this message at 04:38 on Dec 7, 2012 |

After having to pull a wheel on the side of the road TWICE to tighten "Gutentight" non-Loctite'd caliper-to-bracket bolts and also caliper bracket-to-strut bolts because the caliper was slapping the inside of the wheel, I use Loctite on the caliper-to-bracket bolts and a torque wrench on both sets. You may also notice that the caliper-to-caliper bracket bolts that come with the caliper rebuild kits are pre-coated with blue loctite, and that the Bentley and BMW shop manuals specify that they should be loctited/one-time-use only. I don't much fancy cutting corners with brakes, suspension, steering, or drivetrain bits. I've a good torque wrench, I might as well use the bastard instead of risking some important bit departing the vehicle at speed without notice.

Interesting that the bolts are meant to be single use. That would explain a few things.

Are single-use caliper-bracket bolts a German thing? I haven't seen recommendations to replace them on any of the American and Japanese vehicles I've wrenched on.

They're  "Single Use" because LocTite is apparently inferior to the "Superior Bavarian Threadlocking Compound (Special Part #34111163421 DEALER ONLY)Use LocTite/torqewrench for reassembly, give no fucks. \/\/\/ I don't think the metal that stretches at 25lb/ft in an M6 bolt while still maintaining the tensile strength required to hold a caliper on when brakes are applied has been invented yet/is possible in this universe. So no, they are not TTY. Beach Bum fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Dec 7, 2012 |

Are you sure they are not torque to yield bolts because re-using those with whatever loctite you put on is a really bad idea.

Replacing a gearbox in one of our presses today, we've come to check the timing is still good & discovered the feeder angle display goes: 359' 360' 000' 001' This is making it interesting.

Yeah I'm sure BMW just paints the tips of the caliper bolts blue for fun and the Shop Manual/Bentley recommend threadlocker because they've got a kickback deal with Loctite.

You are correct that BMW use blue Loctite for caliber bolts. They really should use red. It's also pretty unnecessary, if you just torque the bolts to specs.

Speaking of getting hot, this little mazda just came in. Said "the heat went away, then it got really hot and it turned off while trying to drive it here.". Compression averaged between 10-30psi all 4 and the radiator cap melted.

You should pry the remnants of the radiator cap out and put a cooling system pressure gauge on it while checking compression for comedy sake.

Edit: Of course I am biased as I have them on the Corolla but Dorman also just started making metal replacements for the OCD 3.8L owners.
