Need to buy online

DOMS · #1 07-28-2006, 05:18 PM

I need to purchase the left rear self-adjusting plate (on a drum brake) for a 1997 Eclipse. No one carries it in my state and the dealer wants $50 (and it has to be special ordered) for a 4" x 2" piece of metal. Hell no.

I have looked at all the local wrecking yards and no one has it. Finding DSM cars is tough, and the back brake assembly is usually gone when I do.

Thanks for any help.

Hello, whatever happened to Napa or Autozone? I'm sure they carry it.

I've tried them all: Napa, AutoZone & Checker. I've tried some break specialty stores too.

Nada.

It looks like it, but I'm not certain. All too often, a company claims to have it, but it always turns out that there are only springs & pins.

The link that you gave does have another link to a page that provides more details, but that page is broken.

Story of my life...

Well if its stated as the "assembly" then it should be the whole thing. Plate, pins, and springs.

Yeah, but NAPA and Checker claimed to have an "assembly", but it was just springs and pins.

Just buy it from the dealer, it will be brand new and OEM. And then you will be able to get it off of you mind
