if your trucks too long to do donuts in the middle of a 2 lane you shouldn't be doing them there, or you need more tire speed :laugh::laugh:

What else happened there? Check out the caliper slider bolts.. WTF?

Also, no dent in the rim? It broke cast iron, but didn't dent aluminum? :dunno:

i cant believe a curb did that esp in one shot. iv hit curbs hard enough to bend an axle and still havent broken the flange much less the entire housing end and caliper mount.

that metal sheared right along the seam thats got to be a manufacturer defect theres no way it shears perfectly along there without a pre existing problem

I'm thinking he was in a slide when he hit the curb. Maybe we can get a pic of the face of the rim thats not showing.
