Restore safe, consistent rear braking by replacing a rusted right rear drum backing plate that anchors shoes and adjusters correctly.
Replace a rusted front backing plate to keep your VW’s drum brake shoes supported, aligned, and operating safely.
Volkswagen drum brake backing plates are the foundation for your brake shoes, springs, adjusters, and wheel cylinder. When the original plate rusts, cracks, or the adjuster areas wear out, braking can become inconsistent and unsafe. This OE-quality left front backing plate is built for a direct-fit replacement on your early Bus, restoring proper geometry and shielding your brake hardware from road debris and moisture.
Install it as part of a correct brake overhaul so your front brakes stay stable, quiet, and predictable.
