    When I hit a bump there is a noise that is fairly loud. Its comming from the driverside front wheel area. It sounds like a lugnut under a metal hubcap. I just pulled that caliper apart to check the pads and the ship broke off so I threw it out. I'm 99% sure it's not from the shim being gone. I just recently started to drive with my winodws open so it may have just started. On a good note I just fixed my ABS :). I'm so lazy I didn't fix it all winter.

    While I was writing this I thought it might be a loose bolt from the accident I had. It is may be this where should I look.

    My car makes noise too. It screams for vengeance. And makes metal flopping sounds as well.

    I think it's waiting for the perfect time to try and kill me.

    Well that is what happens when it's supposed to be fixed and then doesn't *get* fixed.

    That's fine, I'm probably replacing it this weekend.

    It was the shim. I tend to overcomplicate things.
