Rotors are not gouged. No metal on metal. But they Mic 0.005 under minimum.
New rotor/hubs, bearings, seals and pads are headed my way.

That inboard pad looks like it worn on an angle. Bet the caliper was stuck and not sliding. Both pads are heat glazed, another symptom if bad caliper movement
Oh you didn't start grinding the rivets yet, still had some life in them
I'm just wondering what was making the noise and making it pull, everything looks fine there.
I agree, stuck caliper?
I was looking back and something isn't adding up.
It feels like the brakes are making it pull right but it sounds like front left? If it was a stuck caliper or sticky brake or stiff bearing I would think it would pull left then.
How does the other side look?
Wheel bearings?

He said he has hubs coming but didn't see bearings in the list, I wonder what he saw.
Don't forget to replace your rubbers so you don't have an accident... Looking at the condition of the parts compared to the description of the event, I would expect a failed rubber hose that acted as a check valve holding the brake caliper.
You beat me to it
I think a chunk was lodged in it, then released. Was not as bad after a few applications.
It was free when I used the clamp to compress the pision before I remove the clip retainer bolt.
I have not pulled the other side yet. I won't do just one side.
Bearings are assumed with new hubs.
Replaced when I first got it. Rear line also.
I might have done a thing.
They were shipped in this box.
Then they put it in this box.
And then it went in this box.
Took a couple extra days to get here, due to the packaging failure.
3" drop spindles.

I swear people who ship stuff are stupid most of the time.
Amazon tops this list of stupid.
I've had way better luck with the 'zon than I have with a lot of other vendors.
Amazon boxes things so they pack well into the delivery vehicle, so sometimes you'll end up with a heavy smaller item in a large flimsy box like Wade has there. They'll usually toss a couple air cushions in for good measure. They love to package my monster 15 pack with my dog treats to make sure the treats are properly pulverized by the time they get here.
I have shipped similar items and never had these problems despite using one box.
The trick is using expanding foam.
air bags solve all packing problems with them .
so drop her in the weeds and cut the air flow drag and gain .01 mpg of fuel savings ?
