Description:
A lesser-known but critical component of the braking system is the Brake Dust Shield. This part shields suspension and drivetrain components from the extreme heat generated during braking, while protecting the brake rotors, calipers and pads from environmental elements that can compromise braking performance. The original dust shield has a tendency to rust, bend, and even crack, allowing dirt and debris to contaminate the critical braking components. CARDONE Brake Dust Shields are made from stamped steel to match the O.E. design, and are powder-coated to resist rust and corrosion.
Features and Benefits:
- Competitively priced.
- E-brake cable protective rubber boot and adjustment slot rubber plug supplied where applicable.
- Engineered to meet O.E. form, fit and function.
- Powder-coated to resist rust, chipping, scratching and fading.
- Stamped steel to match O.E. design.
Specifications:
FAA_A1:
A brake dust shield keeps heat generated from the braking system away from suspension and drivetrain components. At the same time, it protects brake rotors, calipers and pads from water and debris intrusion.
FAA_A2:
A one-piece design is structurally stronger than a two-piece design. A one-piece design also matches the O.E. standard and eliminates the potential for noise that a two-piece design may generate.
FAA_A3:
Yes. The axle must be removed on a vehicle with a solid axle for proper installation of the replacement brake dust shield. This will require removal of the differential cover, gear oil, axle retaining pin and C clip. Differential gear oil must be replaced.
FAA_A4:
Yes. The brake dust shield is located underneath the caliper and caliper bracket. The brake dust shield also serves as a mounting point for the E-brake cable on rear applications. All of these components must be removed first to allow for removal of the brake dust shield.
Mounting Hardware Included:
No
