This will be my last post...... Thread edited.

content removed. We are not naming and shaming on a public forum. You have been warned of this before!

If you go back to the very start all I did was explain what had happened. No anger just relating the facts. My anger started when accused of having poor hearing and/or ignoring that and not feeling/hearing any grinding etc. It continued with idiotic comments on my modifications or my tyre...

From the report: "As the process is self-exciting it is likely to have happened very quickly and given very little warning." This explains my not hearing or feeling anything prior to the failure. A couple of you sure jumped on me for that. I always apologize if I err in a statement. Not holding...

I appreciate this rare on this page worthwhile information. It is all in hand. Cheers.

I give you permission to post my "abusive private messages" so all can see how you like to inflate things.

And I was not insulted by uninformed V6 Commodore drivers and you referring to my ego? A one way street it would appear here. There are many here that would not be pleased if you denied them the opportunity to follow this saga to its conclusion. I have submitted my claim to Tim Slako's West...

So I have received the engineering report confirming my diagnoses as to why my VZ Ute had a massive brake / suspension failure. Nothing to do with my hearing, or tyres, or excessive modifications, or the rest of the idiotic comments by members of this forum which should be called 'Just...

Harrop is selling me a single caliper, they are horrified at the result of the installation. I removed the good caliper to paint it as the new one coming will also need paint. I set the torque wrench to 20 ft-lb to test the installation torque while removing which should be 80 ft-lb. The torque...

And why is that? I took the pic of the undamaged tyre. Note the other 'expert' said "tyres" plural so I took a pic of the left tyre. I now show you the right tyre with the scrub damage and the wear marker still not flush with the tread. You are calling me a liar. I call you a total fwit and...

Yet another nameless, clueless 'contributor' shooting the messenger. If the top caliper bolt had been left out the ute wouldn't have made it out of the workshop as the first brake application would put the caliper hard against the wheel. I have ordered a professional engineer's report. He looked...

Again, which bolt was it? Depending on the caliper position one bolt out will mean the caliper forced into the wheel. The other bolt out will not.

So you are implying I have been untruthful as to my level of driving aggression? What is heavily modified? bigger engine? transmission swap? Kaaz diff? brake upgrade? Again, the aspersions are laid at me and my vehicle. You failed to get that it was the top bolt that came out. If it had been the...

Great advise, It is not the money, this guy could have killed me and/or others.
