Leaves stuck against caliper and rotor

[jasonvibe]

For the 3rd time now. I have found a leaf jammed between the rotor and the caliper. In fact it's always the left. It has happened both with the OEM aluminum wheels and my OEM winter steelies. This is the oddest thing I have ever had repeatedly happen. One time it was so loud with the leaf rubbing the rotor I thought the caliper was stock or a rock was in there...but the car drove fine. I live a bit secluded at the top of a hill. So no one is playing games. Anyone else?

Wow..haven't run into that one. They should have that be something in 'My Cousin Vinny' if they ever remade it!

dang that is strange. is it windy where you live? it sounds weird, but if it's windy enough, one could get blown in there and with you driving, it wedges it in there more. that's just what i think could be the cause of it. hmm

lol, the possibility of a leaf blowing itself in there multiple times should be extremely rare. The spacing between the pad and the rotor is literally like a hundreth of an inch. Then, if you drive long enough and brake hard enough then the leaf should proably disintegrate because disc brakes reach rediculosuly high temperatures. That is pretty funny that the leaf has gotten wedged in there multiple times. I'm sure that someone is playing games with you.
