Made quite a bit of racket until it totally fell out, then the piston fell out w/all the fluid going with it (like mentioned). Junked it after that.


I had one fall off the front passenger side on my Contour at 57K miles. It was a big vibration until it fell off (took about 5 seconds). I thought I had a flat tire. Heard the metal on metal sound right after that.
