Ok so we got new brake pads, and rotors a few weeks ago, and everything has been great. All of a sudden yesterday I hear a large pop, and my caliper assembly comes off the rotor and smashes into my rim (which arent cheap!). Anyways, my dad who is a mechanic, was able to get the car home in reverse (it worked in reverse just fine), and jack it up. We came to find that the top bolt on the caliper that holds it to the assembly came right off. We actually found the bolt in the street. What would have caused this? We were able to repair everything, but just curious what are possible reasons for this to happen.
