usually the alloy disc carrier wears around where the "bobbins" locate, if you can get away with replacing the spring wave washers you are lucky.
EBC do a good replacement!...

| Post subject: | loose front disc S1 |
Hi, I am new here and have a problem ,I have been told by a garage that my front disc on a 1998 S1 has too much play on it, it`s done 16500 miles .Would replacing the six special bolts take up some of the freeplay? Or is it ffffed. I hit things with a hammer for a living so please explain any answers simply.Ta. |
