Spacer behind rear disc?

[wannie]

After fitting a set on new rear discs and bearings, I noticed the o/s rear side had a washer or spacer behind it which I left on which I presume it's supposed to be there? But the n/s one never had one? Should both sides have them & if so does anyone have any or where can I get one from?

cheers

Yeah both sides should have one.

The other one is probably stuck to your old disc. If not order one. Takes the pressure off the wheel bearing. Without them, they won't last long.

Its a thrush washer, it goes on a certain way.

I found this out the hard way and a four day wait from Renault whilst they ordered it from France

The part number for the spacer is
6000073518. They are about £7.

Give Renault Wolverhampton a call (they're in the traders section).

Like Danny said they do need to go on a certain way.

Here's a guide to fitting them

Chamfered edge in, flat edge towards rear disc

Thanks for the info guys much apriciated. Defiantly wasn't stuck on the old bearing as I had a good look over everything to make sure

I thought it was a chlamydia washer. My bad.

Think you mean thrust

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Maybe they have been renamed thrush spacers because they are irritating little c***s?

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Yep, still catching people out these little buggers.

Flat side towards the bearings.

Also retorque the hub nut to 175nm, both these things are vital to the life of the bearings.

Keep these in stock now too

They're actually called deflectors

My nsr has got through 3 bearings in 12 months and now I'm wondering if the spacer wasn't replaced by the guy who last did my disks. I had a look at the guide you linked here but it doesn't even mention the spacer, unless I'm being thick (quite possible).

Am I missing the point?

Is it possible to check for the spacer's existence without removing the disk completely?

Ta!

Take a photo of the rear hub nut and post it up.

Not sure what I should be looking for, hope you can see it

Thanks!

Think it looks fine. IIRC one/two threads showing means its got a spacer. Five or six and there's no spacer.
