Jan 2011 at 13:26 I had a problem like this, someone who owned the car before me put some new backplates on but instead of doing the job properly they just chopped them in half and fitted them. I had to strip both sides and fit new bearings too, the hardest job was getting my hands on some backplates. they are like rocking horse s**t
