Hi Everyone,

 

Was driving home today and started to hear a very loud tinny rattling sound coming from the rear end of my car. Upon inspection I found one of the rear brake disk backing plates has come completely loose and is moving around. Does anyone know what the part number is for this component? My car is equipped with the 282mm rear disks. 

Very common, made of very rust prone steel which turns to dust, what is the VIN as there ate two?

Thanks for your response, my vin is:TMBBE73TXB9029366

I know it is discs off but can't remember if the wheel bearing has to come off.

 

Febi do them for much less, even less from others

Thanks again, on inspection at least, it does look like the wheel bearing has to come off.

If you cut a slot in the plate it can be fitted without removing the bearing.

I'll probably do that, tbh I don't fancy removing the wheel bearings, also I assume the bolt which secures it is single use so it just adds expense.
