When it comes to cars, my life has always been dictated by Murphys Law.
For those unfamiliar, Murphys Law is the statement that "Anything that can go wrong, will."
And for me, it has.
When I got my van, I thought it needed new breaks due to screeching. Well, it did, but it also needed an entire new rear axle because the differential was bad. I got that fixed, and it's been good... till now.
Today I was driving down the street to the gas station when I started hearing a clanging.
From the passenger front wheel well.
-.-
I pulled over but didn't find anything, started driving again and it was still going on. Pulled over again, found nothing again, and turned around to go back home. After driving for a minute, the noise stopped.
I -want- to think there was just a rock stuck in the rim, but I'm afraid that something relating to the brakes came apart and was bouncing around in wheel well. Considering it's a disk break I'm doubting it's that simple.

Autozone quoted $2300 to do it all.
IF I could do it myself the parts alone would cost $800. Even if I only got the rubber parts for the control arms (so min parts to do it all) It'll still run $480. (Plus Tax.)
