I know this was posted awhile and from my searching it looks like no one found a solution yet. I have an 2004 SportTrac with the rear disc brakes. I’m looking for the elusive rear backing plates.
From what I found I could use the rears from 95-01 Explorer but the rotors will be smaller. ST has 11.83” (300mm) rotors while the Exp has 11.22” (285mm), at least that what listed from Napa and AutoZone. Rangers use the same rotors as Explorer, which is also the same on Mountaineers. The F150 use an even bigger rotor so that’s not gonna work either.
So what I’d like to find out is has any one used the backing from and Exp on their ST and if so, what is the actual clearance on for the rotor and caliper? I don’t see why Ford would make one specific size for just the ST while keeping an another that universal to several others.
