Well, I wish I went to O’Reilly, because this company won't refund their defective products, asked if I can return new alternator I bought from them, because it makes a noise like I'm driving turbo charged car, but they said "NO" only a replacement.
BUT who is going to pay for the labor?
Well I believe this company won't be existing in the nearest future, they have the worst company policies.

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
