172 cup rear brakes!

[MrBlonde]

Just a quick one really,do the rear brake discs on the 172 Cup come with the built in wheel bearings or is is just the disc on its own?

If you buy genuine, it comes with the bearings pre installed. Non genuine discs rarely do.

Genuine rear discs can be had for a decent price it makes no sense to buy something else.

You can get them both with and with out bearings. But as above you're best getting them with them built in already. No messing and then you know they're good for a while to come, especially on the 172 Cup models

 

[MrBlonde]

Yeah im going to get some with bearings in already & i should be ordering from you mate very soon

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

No worries. Got Brembo or Renault in, both use same good quality bearings.

Good idea to check if the little spacer/washers are present behind the rear discs and fitted right way round aswel mate, if your current bearings are droning

 

[MrBlonde]

Oh ok mate,yeah think they may be!.but i defo need disc and pads,so would rather get all bearings done to

not just OEM parts, plenty of other makes come with the bearings in

 

[MrBlonde]

Yeah reason why i asked is,i emailed a fella on ebay & he reckons cup models dont come with bearings,where i said they do

 

[plymcl172]

yeah I would avoid some e bays chepo brakes without the bearing to be honest

 

[Paprika123]

Sounds like he's getting mixed up with the ABS ring variant ones too tbh.

 

[MrBlonde]

Yeah in not gonna but them,he just had a set of grooved rear discs that i thought i would try get cheap

This.

I ordered one from G 172 along with the replacement discs (with bearings) - as my offside rear started to drone and got hot in a matter of days. When I stripped the droning side, the washer was the wrong way around (probably my fault from the previous swap over, tbh).

The washer has two different sides - one tapered, the other straight. Just make sure that the tapered side goes on, facing the car first and the straight side goes against the new disc being fitted.

I would recommend a little wipe of your ABS sensor while you're there (mine was caked in s**t both sides) - but as you're running a 172 Cup, you're clearly free of that issue!
