4G0611853 Volkswagen spacer

These little guys basically maintain the correct distance between parts – usually between the brake rotor and the backing plate, or between different components of the caliper itself. They’re simple, but precise. Sometimes they help center things, and sometimes they just provide clearance to prevent rubbing or binding. They come in various thicknesses depending on where they're used. Think of it like this – everything in your braking system needs a little breathing room to operate smoothly. The spacer provides that. It’s often part of the caliper bracket assembly, or positioned behind the rotor. It doesn't move during braking, it just holds everything in the proper position. It’s a supporting player, but a really important one. Without a properly sized spacer, you can run into a lot of problems. Things can get misaligned, causing uneven pad wear. You might experience brake squeal, or even worse, actual binding, which generates heat and can damage your rotors and calipers. You’ll notice if a spacer is missing or damaged because you'll likely get a pulling sensation when braking, or just generally poor brake performance. It’s a small, inexpensive part, but replacing a worn or missing one can save you from a much bigger repair down the road. We carry a good selection of these over at Fixparts Online, and it’s usually a pretty straightforward swap if you're comfortable doing brakes yourself. Trusted brand, trusted warranty: Spacer (MPN 4G0611853) is covered for 12 months!
