So I'm driving last night, and everything's fine. Then I hear something metallic clang on the concrete as I'm driving. Next time I brake at a stop light, My front left makes a HORRIBLE metal-on-metal screech. Never heard anything like it before. I pulled over, but it being almost 11pm, I couldn't see very well, but when I jacked the car and took the wheel off, I'm pretty certain I couldn't see the inner brake pad. The outer was for sure there.

i dont understand how it just fell out. our brake caliper covers the brake pad and the 2 14mm bolts hold that to the brake bracket and then there is 2 17 mm that hold the whole assembly to the hub???? im lost never heard of that before
