Brakes problem
1998 Ford F150 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

This afternoon, I remove my front disc and brake shoes. When I pulled the discs off, I noticed the piece of sheetmetal behind the disc was badly rusted. What the heck do you call this part. One repair manual referred to it as a disc splash shield. I've been searching for the part online but no one carries a part by this name. Any idea what it might be called?

Hi there this is often refereed to a disc backing plate, this may only be available from dealers or a wreckers yard this would not normally be carried by a non genuine parts supplier.
