Subaru Rear Right Brake Backing Plate Machined

Description

Product Overview

The Subaru Rear Right Brake Backing Plate is engineered to replace the original equipment component for 2000‑2009 Baja, Legacy, and Outback vehicles. Crafted from high‑strength steel and finished with a precision‑machined surface, the plate provides a rigid, heat‑resistant platform for the drum brake assembly. At 4.28 pounds, it balances durability with manageable weight, and its dimensions (12.56 x 11.22 x 2.56 inches) ensure a seamless fit within the factory‑specified mounting points. The OEM part number 26704AE040 guarantees compatibility with Subaru’s design tolerances, delivering the same performance standards as the factory part.

Usage

Designed for both everyday commuters and off‑road enthusiasts, this backing plate excels in demanding conditions where reliable braking is essential. Install it during routine brake service, replacement of worn drums, or when upgrading to higher‑performance brake components. The plate’s machined exterior promotes even heat distribution, reducing the risk of warping during prolonged braking. Suitable for DIY mechanics and professional shops, it fits directly into the existing brake housing without the need for additional modifications.
