[EODSRT-10]

I have an 05 QC that had the exact same thing happen to my brakes. My situation was caused by a very high speed run on the highway late at night racing a mustang and getting on the brakes really hard which caused some serious heat and a little fade. The next day I was driving down the road and noticed that the left front brake just started grabbing all of a sudeen and would pull the wheel hard left. As i slowed and turned off the main road I was on the caliper basically locked up and almost yanked the wheel out of my hand.
I let the truck sit for about an hour and cool off as the front left brake was smoking. The pressure released on its own and I was able to drive it home slowly. I took apart the caliper, cleaned and inspected it. I didn't notice anything out of place.
What caused this to happen is still undertermined but I think it may have had something to do with the extreme amount of heat that was created very quickly possibly squeezing the rubber boot that the piston sits in out of place. I have had no problems since then and have upgraded the brakes to EBC rotors and pads all the way around and added steel braided lines.
The brake locking up and pulling the wheel out of your hand would not cause your steering knuckle to break. Hitting the curb definately would though!

:dontknow: I'm wondering about some parts breakage on my SRT-10 QC, so I could really use some feedback of a hopefully positive nature.

Not even owning it a month, I returned to the store I bought it from to have them fix & check a some problems such as the brakes squeling (terriably annoying), a delay in trans shifting, uncertain about how low oil psi at an idle was, & low coolant level! After having it a full 7 days friday to friday & 70 plus something miles added to it I go to pick it up. It now has had new front rotors installed, resurfased rear rotors & all the brake pads resurfaced as well (why not replaced, I dont know) everything else was noted that there was NO PROBLEM FOUND! As the service guy brings it to me he hands me my keys & says the brakes still squil a bit but it should be okey because thats just what brakes are supposed to do!

Here is the part where it gets rough, I drive it home & on the way it feels like I was applying my brakes (foot no where near pedal) as I let of the accelorator. The next evening my family & I are on our way home from going out. As I approach a right curve at a low speed when I hear a squel & my steering whell jerked hard to the right & put us into the curb. Im not possitive what caused it but the steering knuckle snapped clean in two and the tie rods as well as the spindell & control arms were either broken or damaged! A tech I talked to said it looked like the knuckle snapped & caused the hard jerk right!

Does anyone have an opinion or know of any similar scenario?
