gaztop101 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 while i was fitting new shoes on my starlet i noticed a lip that runs all the way round the backing plate that obviously sits inside the groove round the drum, but half of the lip has corroded away and fell off, will it cause me problems, and what is it there for anyway?

morgey Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Mine did the same on my corolla, started making a horrible grating noise, i just broke that little lip off wire brushed it then stuck the drum back on. Been like it a year or 2 now and not had an issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gaztop101 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 thats what ive done Morgey, just pulled off the remaining bits then ground it flat, drum spins nice and smooth now, if anything the best its been. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
