This question concerns the shiny metal tabs the brake pads slide into. Can these be bought at the auto parts store like Auto Zone? Mine are all bent.. and causing some serious brake noise. I'd like to replace them if I can.

 

I know they are available for some of the older cars, like my wife's 99 Intrigue, as a parts rebuild package, but I don't know about the Ram--they may just be too new yet.

Best thing to do is give them a call and ask, or you might try Advance Auto web site.
They have a fairly extensive online catalogue that is relatively easy to navigate through
