Desmondo1 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Hi, I am going to be changing the bearings on the rear of my car as starting to give off a bit of noise. I am considering replacing the shoes/drums while there. I am a little confused I have seen hubs with bearings & drums with bearings. I understand how the hubs are fitted. But unsure how the drums with bearings are fitted to the backplate. Can anyone advise? This is the link to drums with bearings. There doesn't seem to be the end bit with the bolt holes for the back plate? Am I missing something? https://www.cartech-one.co.uk/en/product/1063319-brake-drum/v-33334?gclid=CjwKCAjw1tDaBRAMEiwA0rYbSOZ_FhWQYDhjwSOmHU3aAHZ4YRsBc5tnCg9oBuPk4I6VyEejRr45ERoCHfMQAvD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 the link is for mk6/6.5 . and title you have mk7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 this is the wheel bearing type. not had any issues with mk7 wheel bearings, are you sure its wheel bearing noise and not tyres with iregular wear causing a simular noise? the drums are separate to the bearings and are held to the hub with 2 screws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desmondo1 Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 Yeah tyres are good. That was what I was looking at first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
