    So I'm trying to be a good truck owner getting ready to POR15 the undercarriage when I get under I noticed my rotors were only worn in one spot leaving the rest rusted and not used , no big deal new pads and rotors. Driver side went fine but passenger side I broke a caliper bolt . Drilled this out and got a new bolt to work but I know it's not a perm fix cause I can't tighten it as for it will strip , any suggestions ? What needs to be replaced ? I'm new here so any help is appreciated :D
