Motorcraft Drum Brake Backing Plate Assembly

The Motorcraft Drum Brake Backing Plate Assembly is a genuine Ford-brand replacement part. It mounts the rear drum brake hardware and holds the brake shoes, wheel cylinder, and related components in place. It is also called a drum brake backing plate or brake shield. If your backing plate is bent, corroded, or damaged, replacing it restores the proper mounting foundation for the drum brake system.

Key Features:

• Motorcraft is Ford Motor Company's original-equipment parts brand, so these plates are built to the same standards as the parts Ford specifies for its vehicles
• Provides a rigid mounting surface for brake shoes, hardware, and the wheel cylinder
• Helps shield the brake assembly from road debris, water, and dirt
• Stamped steel construction gives the plate strength and durability
• Designed for a direct-fit replacement without modification

Replacing a worn or damaged backing plate helps keep brake components correctly aligned and supports reliable braking performance. Choose the specific part number for your application from the options listed on this page.
