The brake backing plates can be a bother on front Toyota solid axles. They often get bent from trail damage. Small rocks can get trapped between the backing plate and the rotor, causing noise and damage. For many years we have taken the stock brake backing plate and cut out the center section. Then we would reassemble the axle with just the center part for spacing.

There is a cleaner way to accomplish the same thing. This Backing Plate Eliminator Kit contains two spacer rings that take the place of the factory backing plate. The rings are the same thickness as stock for proper component spacing. Installation is easy.... simply remove the stock backing plate and replace with these rings when you are servicing the knuckle.
