Rear Left Brake Backing Plate for Toyota Trucks ️

This rear LH brake backing plate is the solid base of the drum brake assembly on many Toyota pickups and SUVs. Heavy-gauge steel keeps the wheel cylinder, shoe hold-downs, anchor pin, and parking brake lever aligned. Its formed lip works as a dust shield, blocking mud, stones, and water from the brakes. OE-style holes match the axle flange for a clean, bolt-on install .

Why you need it

A straight, rust-free backing plate keeps brake shoes centered, delivers even drum contact, and preserves strong parking brake action. Corrosion, cracks near the hold-downs, or bent edges cause noise, poor stopping, and fast shoe wear. Replacing this plate restores safe, consistent braking and extends hardware life.

How it works

Press the pedal and the wheel cylinder pushes the shoes outward. The shoes slide on the plate’s pads into the drum. The plate guides springs and the adjuster, supports the parking brake linkage, and seals out debris to protect friction surfaces.

What happens if it’s damaged

Expect scraping or grinding, uneven braking, dragging wheel, weak or sticking parking brake, seized adjuster, and hot spots in the drum. Severe rust can let the wheel cylinder loosen, risking leaks and a soft pedal. Replace at the first signs of wear or distortion ⚠️.
