Hi there. My 2016 hilux dust covers are rattling. Toyota wans 3k to replace them. Do the dust covers generally need replacing or is there another way to stop the rattling noise

Re: Break dust covers
It's the break dust shields on the front disk breaks.
Bakkie was I for service yesterday and told me 3.5k to replace as they are worn out. I told them no. When I fetched the bakkie they said they managed to bend them a bit and now the rattling has stopped. For how long I don't know. But I don't see them wearing out like they said.

Re: Break dust covers
If it is the back plate / dust cover type of thing it cannot wear out. It either become loose or you accidentally knock and bend them while replacing pads.
That is the only dust covers I can think off on front brakes. Besides of course the rubber dust cover on the caliper piston but that is something that wont rattle.
The other thing that can cause a rattle on front brakes are the rattle clips, little spring steel clips that prevent the brake pads from rattling.
Easy to detect, when you touch the brakes and rattling stops, you know it are them clips. Those cost about R100 each but.

Re: Break dust covers
Yes it's the back plate dust cover thing. I thought they were talking nonsense when they said it's warn out. I thought they were loose and needed tightened, but they bent them a bit and now no more rattling.
