Took my car into the garage where my mate works so we could get a proper look at replacing the PAS pump.
No probs.
I had a quick look at my front tyres, tracking is so far out they have worn right down to the canvas on the inside, I knew one rear tyre was on the way out, but now I need three!
Dammit.
Mind you, got a price of £130 for 3 new tyres.
Budget tyres from quick fit using a trade discount.
How much should I pay for rear discs and pads?
I need a o/s/r hub backing plate now as well.
Anyone have one?

Thats not tracking thats out, I bet its camber.....camber gives a more agressive wear over a small area.
Whats wrong with the rear backing plate?

As said what is wrong with the back plate?
Has the shoe retaining pin hole worn????

How can I rectify the camber issue?

Full geometry adjustment by someone who knows what they are doing.

The camber can only really be done at a competent tyre garage like Wheels in motion or similar.
As for the back plate.....you can get a clip/washer from a car shop which has a slot in it like the backplate does, and all you need to do is fit this from behind the backplate.....hayho job done 2 mins ;)

Dont think they would bud.
My mate works for a National Autocentre and the one he works at has a kwik fit next door, so he (and me) can get a trade discount.
When I fitted new shoe retaining pins there was a small washer type retainer in the fitting kit, but I couldn't see any access to the rear of the backing plate.
