Wheel Plate only on Rear ?

[YodaBird]

What do you call the plate which is only on the rear wheels of the Yaris ? Depending on your rims you may or may not be able to see it.

[WeeYari]

What? You asking about the thin metal plate affixed directly behind the drum?

It's not thin, it covers the drum.

[WeeYari]

Need a pic 'cause there is nothing that covers the drum.

do you mean. the cover for the drum covering the shoes aka the brake pads inside?

Is there a picture I could see to verify, as you may be on the lead ?

[WeeYari]

He is referring to the piece which is actually... wait for it... the DRUM.

The drum being the cover which only covers the brake pads, whether two or four wheels, correct ?

[yarisugi]

This thread is entertaining

Does this help?:confused:

Are you refering to figure 2?

[DarkShadowFox]

guys i have a metal plate over my engine and only on the engine what do i do.

[YodaBird]

On the 2012 there is, what appears to be a bowl shape which covers the rear and only the rear wheel pads; what is the name of this bowl cover ?

[mrpj]

I refer you to fig. 2 of the link I posted. Do you mean the brake drum?
Your car does have drum brakes? If so, they are not "pads" but shoes.
Is this a wind up?

[dogsridewith]

aren't there aftermarket cosmetic drum covers?

fake disc brake rotors?

[WeeYari]

In post 4 I stated a picture was needed.

Since it is obvious that either you don't know what a drum brake is, or nobody knows what you are talking about, TAKE A PIC!!

Is this the piece you are referring to? If yes, then again, that is the drum.

Yes that is correct. So it's simply a drum, thanks :)

my brain hurts.

It's better to have clarification then simply agreeing to something that may not be right, right.

its very expensive to change the rear to discs too, unless you want to clean up stuff from a salvager. See: Rare.

its going to cost in the thousands.

also the discs suck during hard driving such as on the highway or for quick emergency stops :U

yeah unlike most people i drive my yaris like a car. the rear discs lose braking power quickly and overheat easily when you drive alot like i do.

Why has a random discussion about rear discs shown up in a thread seeking identification of a drum brake part?

I never stop learning [emoji23]
But seriously, that’s so wrong. Drum brakes have zero like absolutely zero heat dissipation. It’s an enclosed system and the only thing that it’s good, better than disks, is for handbrake usage. Nothing else.

I found it offensive to see manufacters cheap out and still using this system in modern cars. The cost of manufacting a car with full disks rather than disks and drums is almost the same. But I guess they make more money by making this an extra option. And if you want to make the conversion after you buy the car then good luck. You have to change even the handbrake inside the cabin and it cost way more. I don’t know why full disk brakes aren’t mended by the law in 2018 like so many other safety futures when even the slowest modern production car can easily archive 80mph

a swap would cost thousands if you are bent in buyin everything retail off a stealership. 1000 bucks is usually plenty to buy a whole used axle and direct swap it in. The few people i know that did an axle swap here in USA paid farr less than "thousands". This applies to being shipped to usa from japan or the local junkers in usa. The handbrake change is just swapping of cables, if the axle is complete (often it is)

should have optioned it from the dealer :P

[DarkShadowFox]

i can do that work myself, i have the GSIC manual, so it would be 405 dollars plus some pizza and beer to have someone do a disc swap. but then your also looking at discs and other BS. so 1000 before labor.

[DarkShadowFox]

cannot option that from the dealer. its an SE option only. i asked.

[enviri]

you took that too literally, since american yaris dont really have any options except for some crap like a trunk net, SE would be the 'option' you could have taken. yaris in europe has a whole ton of trims and options i just put it all in an umbrella term.

if you cant get a 3door or an L with disc brakes when a ford used to come standard with discbrakes and just as safe safety features whats the exuse for shelling out nearly 19-20k for a new yaris with disc brakes and the rest that go for 15- 18 with DRUMS.
