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?

[Dazzler]

£70+vat on TC from VX for rear discs and pads..
As said what is wrong with the back plate?
Has the shoe retaining pin hole worn?

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

[Dazzler]

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.
