I started to replace the brake pads in the other halfs Rav 4 (03) and noticed the rear dust shields have corroded away and weren't actuall fixed to the car anymore smile the calipers were also badly corroded and I couldn't remove the pad locating \ slide pins despite some time with a hammer and drift. I've ordered 2 rear calipers but can't find anywhere (in the UK) who supplies the dust shields anybody on here have any ideas?

The Stealer. About £35 the pair for a '99 RAV 4 front ones.
Most just tear them off and forget about them as about the only use is to stop cold water shocking hot discs I would think, maybe odd stone jams into caliper .. certainly not a MOT issue.

fair enough I will leave them off. Surprised at the amount of corrosion under the 03 Rav 4. Fuel pipe holes (common) replaced last weekend, brake calipers are in a terrible state need to be replaced along with some of the brake pipes.
