The mounting plate in a car’s braking system is a component that connects the brake caliper or drum to the rest of the system. It’s typically a flat metal plate that is bolted to the steering knuckle or axle and serves as a mounting point for the brake components. The mounting plate ensures that the brake caliper or drum is properly positioned relative to the brake rotor or drum, and is essential for the proper functioning of the braking system in a car.
