I had the same issues, rear's were easy to get. I had to go to the dealer and order the the front's. Don't remember the cost but it was from a dealer so more than aftermarket.
Are you talking about the dust/splash shield? Part number is 2K004 for my 1997. $28.00 from FordParts.com. They have drawings to verify what part you are talking about.
That part shoes up as an axle part. I did a search and all they show is rear backing plates as well. I guess the front ones aren't supposed to rust out.
