TheBully Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hi I have been having some noise from my rear brakes like a constant grinding at low speed that comes and go's and the discs did not look great so ordered some new discs pads and handbrake shoes from eurocarparts and am having the garage down the road fit them. They called me in as the car was on the ramp to show me what was making the noise as I thought it was the handbrake shoes turns out its the disc dust covers that have gone rotton leaving bits of rust in the bottom. What are my options for replacing the dust covers or can they just be got rid of and cut off. The garage are going to clean them up the best they can with a wire brush on a drill and put a bit of anti rust paint on for now. I have MOT next month as well so am wondering if they will affect that, its a 05 plate blob eye WRX 2.0. Cheers Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBully Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Hi thanks for the replys, I had a look on that import car parts site but they are expensive. I will probably get rid of them unless I can find replacements a bit cheaper. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yep the ones on my 97 UK turbo just fell off but I had to chisel and grind the spot welds off my 94 jdm import. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBully Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Well it looks like they are about 75 quid each and it's the whole assembly that the drum attaches to and can only be changed if you remove the hubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
