#1: Help identify this part please! Author: Muddytoast, Posted: Mon Aug 15, 2016 12:35 pm ---- This ring is rattling over bumps, the other side is tight but this one spins and has movement to rattle.
What is it? Any idea on the problem? Its just a passed it's MOT.
#2: Re: Help identify this part please! Author: gpvecchi, Location: ItalyPosted: Mon Aug 15, 2016 1:40 pm ---- That's an heat shield to protect the gum from brake heat. It should not be so noisy... If you want to raplace it, it's very cheap.
#3: Re: Help identify this part please! Author: Muddytoast, Posted: Mon Aug 15, 2016 2:31 pm ---- Awesome, thanks for your help
The play is up and down, as shown in this image.
Worth replacing? I assume it's the rubber seal that needs replacing not the heat shield ring as it look as thin on the other side?

#5: Re: Help identify this part please! Author: gpvecchi, Location: ItalyPosted: Tue Aug 16, 2016 6:52 pm ---- I replaced mine because of a tinging sound. If it's more a knock, it's the joint.
#6: Re: Help identify this part please! Author: Muddytoast, Posted: Wed Aug 17, 2016 10:53 am ---- It's not a knocking it is definitely a metallic rattle. Like shaking the washer on and nut.
Wiggling that ring makes the exact same sound, The question is what is allowing the ring to move??

#9: Re: Help identify this part please! Author: gpvecchi, Location: ItalyPosted: Wed Aug 17, 2016 4:01 pm ---- There's a small piece that fits into yoke groove. If that is consumed, it rattles. Buy a new one it's 1 or 2£.
