4L0609452 Audi BACK PLATE

This part, sometimes called a caliper back plate, basically provides a mounting surface for the brake caliper itself. It’s a steel plate that secures to the wheel hub or spindle – it’s what the caliper “hangs” on. It also has provisions for the brake pads and sometimes even includes areas to direct cooling air towards the rotor. Think of it as the foundation that everything else builds on. It’s a critical part of your braking system, obviously. It keeps the caliper stable and correctly positioned relative to the brake rotor. Without it, the caliper would just be floating around, and your brakes wouldn’t work effectively, or at all. It takes a lot of stress, because all the force when you hit the brakes goes through this piece. Well, if this plate is damaged or severely corroded, your brakes become unsafe. You’ll notice if it’s really bad – usually a pulling sensation when braking, or a grinding noise. Even minor damage can cause vibrations. It acts like a shield, protecting some of the more sensitive brake components. If it fails, it can lead to caliper failure, damaged rotors, and a whole lot of expensive repairs. You can sometimes find replacements like this one at places like Fixparts Online. It's a part you really don't want to put off replacing if it’s worn. Adaptable to any vehicle: Back Plate (MPN 4L0609452) comes with a 12-month warranty!
