If all 4 pads on that axle look that way your fine.

Avoid the dealership! They are horrible places that only retain the mechanics that can't cut it in a real shop.

I bought a brand new work van for my business. At 30k mi while in for warranty work Nissan wanted to do 4 brakes, 4 rotors, 4 tires, and a 4 wheel alignment on a NV3500 work van with a solid rear axle.... Said there was severe wear blah blah blah. Ended up going to over 100k miles and through two sets of tires pulling trailers with that van before actually needing brakes...

This mechanic is after your money. Run, don't walk away from them.

Made the switch to the Jerboa app and everything works. Seems like it's an issue with the Lemmy Connect app.

Anyone have any ideas why Lemmy Connect won't show me these communities on lemmensfw.com and how to fix it?

anyone else having problems with redgif videos never loading? in c/[email protected]

Anyone know how to fix the NSFW posts on Connect? Most of the NSFW places I saved no longer load.

Rule of thumb is what ever you do to one side of a vehicles axle you do the same to the other. You really need to get the other tire changed so there are 2 new ones of the same tread wear on the same axle.

You wouldn't change only one brake rotor or do the LF brakes and not the RF brakes. You do them as a set.

Not only will your transmission and differentials suffer excess wear due to unever wheel speeds your braking and ABS will suffer too.

If you had a 1970s vehicle sure you can get away with this and probably won't have any issues. But with a newer vehicle your only asking for more expensive issues.

So I use my phone often for work. Calculator app, maps, camera etc. Today as of the last 45 min or so Facebook somehow got installed on my phone. I haven't used Facebook since 2009. What gives. Why is it all of a sudden installed and not able to be removed?

Any idea why none of the lemmynsfw.com content does up on the Connect app for Android?

EDIT. Made the switch to the Jerboa app and everything works. I like Connect but it's not functional.

Amen brotha. My dad was a 30 Busch a day drinker. I'm a 750ml of vodka a day or 2. Bring on the slow death.

Movie was so slow and painfully boring I stopped 50 mins in. Literally nothing of any real substance happens. What is the deal with all these movies not doing anything in the first 1/2 to 3/4 of the movie? Am I just a bitchy millennial or is the the new trend for movies today?
