Split Style Rear Backing Plates

[KJ_Liverpool]

Hi Guys

If this has been mentioned before,
I missed it.

Dorman has a Split-style backing plate,
or as they call it, dust shield.

The price for a pair is less than one side
of the original style, with shoes etc. from
Mopar.

There are pros and cons to this style and
I really don't want to debate that. I just
wanted to let everyone know they're
available for those who want to go this
route.

Here's the link, with a quick video:

I did not even know these existed, thanks for posting.

Are those so you don't have to pull the axle to replace the backing plates?

Yep, there's a good video on that site. Pretty clever.
