jonesy_87_ Member 37 Member For: 16y 8m 11d Posted 01/02/09 03:38 AM Share Posted 01/02/09 03:38 AM Hey guys,I had my 19s swapped back to some stock BF Xr6. I swapped my rims for TCR's stock BF Xr rims.I went to drive today and I noticed my brake dust protector on all 4 wheels are bouncing around and making a racket.Can someone tell me whether there is meant to be a spacer between the rim and the brake dust protector? Or whether the brake dust protector is meant to be stuck to the axle, etc, etc.I think its a really simple fix but Im trying to get it done asap.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might go jack it up again. All the rims are on as far as they go and there is movement on all 4 brake dust shields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy_87_ Member 37 Member For: 16y 8m 11d Posted 01/02/09 04:33 AM Author Share Posted 01/02/09 04:33 AM I just jacked the rear up and tried to wobble the rim. The rim is on tight - Its not budging. But the brakedust shield is still moving.I'm not sure if I have a rooted brakedust shield (on all 4 rims which seems unlikely) or whether there should be a small extension on the rim to hold it in.Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
