Hello all, I have a 2006 Ram 1500. I recently had a roaring sound coming from the rear. I found a caliper to be stuck so I got a new caliper, brakes and rotors for the rear. Then I found this:



I have the backing plate ordered from Dodge and I am planning on replacing it this weekend. My question is what kind of job am I getting myself in too? I am mechanicly inclined as that is my profession but I work on tractor trailer, Heavy trucks. Any advice or helpful hints will be greatly appreciated. I bought a Haynes manual for it and it list nothing about replacing this plate.

 

Hi, Welcome to the forum! I don't have any personal experience in replacing this but I found this out of the 2004 service manual. Should be similar to what you have. These are the two pages that cover replacing the back support plate.

 

YES!!!!!!! another WV DUDE!!!!! sry for the excitment, i thought i was the only one haha, but it dont look to much of a hassle, if ur experience is good especially for heavy trucks it shouldnt be a problem u cant figure out and welcome to the forum
