Hey guys,
I've been sandblasting suspension components and came across this. I have a couple of questions:
1. What side does this backing plate go on?
2. Should I just replace it due to damage?

I'll take a stab at it.
Right rear backing plate.
Other than the star adjuster spring tab, what damage? |
Thanks semper.
On the bottom pick, there is an area that is rusting through on the top. _________________ What I lack in brains, I make up for with good intentions. |

I believe that's a Beetle part anyway. Should be enough around at this point. Not cost effective to repair. _________________ Walküre Restoration Thread: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=737492 |

Go into the technical section ad download the parts pdf. Anything with a part number starting with a "111" is Beetle part, 211 is a bus part,....generally .
The "181" are Thing specific. _________________ Walküre Restoration Thread: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=737492 |
