Backing plate
Backing plate
Would it cause any problems if i removed the backing plate from the brake disc's ? No matter how much i bend it back it still makes this rubbing/droning noise :confused1:
It's just there to contain the dust. I'm not quite clear if it's to stop the brake dust getting into somewhere specific (like the wheel hub), or just a general thing to keep things a bit cleaner.
Thanks Stevie.
The back plate is also there to channel cooling air to the rear face of the brake disc, to stop water getting on to the disc as well,
I would reshape it and leave it in place.
It might be the break pads? Dean had a similar problem with his, but it was because his brake disk was slightly warn, leaving a lip on the edge of the disk. This then cought on the brake disks.... its common i though? (As it made the same noise without changing the pads)
