Hi - I have a 12 Ram 1500 Sport, had a squeak coming from my left rear at very slow speeds, like 3-7 mph. Got under the truck after finally being able to recreate it and figured out was coming from what seems to be the backing plate being snapped.

Unfortunately, in the pic, the part number that is on the plate that snapped doesn't cross reference with anything I could find.

I'm even having a tough time finding just the backing plate. Would you replace just the backing plate or do people just replace the whole assembly? And if it is the whole assembly, what is that assembly called?


Any recommendations would be a huge help.

Thanks!

 

That appears to be included with Mopar part number 52113468AF.

Parking brake adapter assembly as Rod mentioned. Looks like it's been broken for quite a while.

 

Has to be the one thing on Youtube that doesn't have a video for how to repair it haha. Thanks for the part info!

 

Pretty much disassemble your brakes on that side, unbolt the plate from the axle, remove old one, install new, bolt back up, reassemble brakes.

I had the same problem on my 2014 1500. You have to pull the axle to get the new one on. I did bearings and seals on both sides while I had it apart.
