Ouch Steve!

Without saying anything Steve, can anyone figure out what side of the car this came from?

Steve...this might be your semi lucky weekend. Another buddy tried to move a curb and wiped out two swoopies. I might know of a reasonable cost replacement for you.

And always use anti seize and torque caliper bolts accordingly?
