Re: Renault 11 Turbo rear drum brakes phase 1

[Mr Raider]

Rear brakes been not working as they should on the phase 1 so have taken the brake drum off. They appear to be Bendix with cylinder that has 2 pistons on. How many variations of rear brakes is there? Need to order 2 new cylinders, set of shoes & also 2 new wheel bearings.

[Mr Raider]

Just wondering if the silver bits on either side behind the gold bit of the shoes, is in fact part of the shoes or a bracket on the backplate?

Have had a look at ebay for replacement shoes, cylinders, and wheel bearings.

Looks the same as the rear drums on my 9, pic is small though

[Bigfoot]

They have just a choice of Bendix or TRW Brake Cylinders. No variations of the same make. Very cheap for parts and available

[Mr Raider]

Ok mate thanks, can I order them from Motor Parts Direct? Have a branch in Norwich. Have heard Bendix can be of an early & late type?!

Picture should expand if its clicked on :)

Yes, if you contact Norwich branch they can order it in for you.

Not sure on what ones come fitted really, a lot car manufacturers just pick and choose, worse I have seen it for Peugeot :crap:

[Mr Raider]

Thanks fella, I called the Norwich Branch and they said they do a kit with a pair of cylinders, and a set of shoes that are £54.00 plus a £10.00 carriage fee as special order from Germany. Just really conscious of trying to source the correct ones first time.

Found this link which gives a picture of the 4 variations, think my money is on option
2/4 or 3/4 just which one of the two :(

Thanks Dale, kit looks exactly whats on the car & what I need. See it comes with fitting kit, silver metal arms behind the shoes too. Just to clarify,- wheel bearings included too? :agree: :)

[Mr Raider]

Ok, so have stripped the rear brakes on the 11 both sides, this kit looks spot on as to what I need, does it have a reference number? :cool:

[Mr Raider]

Picked the TRW super kit up at lunchtime, looks absolutely spot on with everything needed to replace the rear brakes on the 11 turbo this weekend ready for MOT. :cool:

That's good mate, good luck with the MOT

[Mr Raider]

Thanks Dale, looking to get rear brakes fitted this weekend, do a few miles to bed them in and MOT end of October, fingers crossed for a 28 year old car lol.:coffee:

Motor Parts Direct were a good price for the kit cheaper than ebay, helpful too just relieved to source new parts :)

[Mr Raider]

All fitted and the car back on its wheels. Took it down the road and now it seems the nearside rear drum gets hotter than the offside, think I need a new wheel bearing as it does not sit right on the spindle of the stub axle :scratch: :confused:.
