I changed the front brakes on my 2001 Concorde and was almost done when I stripped out the hole the caliper bolt goes into. Not the bolt (that would have been too easy) but the hole the bolt goes into. My question is, what is the name of the piece that the caliper bolts thread into? I have seen some diagrams that refer to it as a backing plate but I am not sure about that. I want to call around to different junk yards and ask if they have one but want to know the name so I can have an intelligent conversation.

 

its called the steering knuckle u can always tap it or put a heli coil in it

 

Thanks for the reply. I am going to put a heli coil in it since that seems to be the easiest way to fix it. Good advice, thanks again!
