Well all was well until the drivers side grabbed hard and pulled into a curb..boy that sucked so the two retaining screws (phillips ones) were inside the inner lip of the wheel just sitting there and one of the caliper retaining bolts had fallen out so it would flop around in reverse and grind forward...fun so I had to get a makeshift bolt to fill it in it was working fine until the top caliper retaining bolt fell out and the damn caliper would fall off and hit the rim then itd be metal on metal braking well contact and dead stop the car...not fun so I put another makeshift bolt in and now its some metal on metal contact somwhere..im not having fun...

Told you Id help you out...should have waited.
Now for questions. How the hell did the alignment screws fall out?? With the wheel studs holding the disc on there shouldnt be enough play for them to wiggle out. And as for the caliper retaining bolt Im willing to put money on the fact that you did not tighten them correctly. The calipers bolts feed into a retainer that can twist around if not held with a wrench while tightening. Well man give me a call and maybe I can help you out this Friday if you need it. Sounds like you have one hell of a cluster fuck on your hands.
