Ford Ranger Backing Plate is the shield that sits behind the brake assembly that restricts splash, road debris, and corrosive brake dust from damaging other components. The metal Backing Plate is a barrier that limits interference from the elements to ensure proper brake operation without corrosion or binding. On a Ford Ranger, the Backing Plate keeps the wheel cylinders, brake shoes, and parking brake linkage aligned. It also helps to protect alloy or chrome rims from permanent etched damage by keeping abrasive dust away from wheels and preventing staining. The bending of the Backing Plate and development of grooves on their shoe support pads can lead to binding and loss of support and can lead to reduced braking capacity and safety. Having the metal exposed to moisture and road salt continuously can cause it to rust through. Over time, this will expose the brakes, plus some suspension parts will become dust-laden. Usually the plate is unbolted from the knuckle and removed with the rotor and hub. Some configurations, however, require removal of the axle shaft. Every Ford Ranger features a well-kept Backing Plate, ensuring the brakes stay protected and the Ford driving experience remains reliable on any Ranger.
