What are brake disc dust shields?

Brake disc dust shields are the thin metal plates that sit behind the brake discs on each wheel. Typically made of steel or aluminium, they keep the brake discs and braking system clean and protected from brake dust, water, and debris from roads like stones.

Your dust shields are essentially an extra barrier to make sure your braking system stays clear of brake dust that can erode, and debris that can get lodged in the braking mechanisms. They help keep your brakes working properly and help stop your vehicle safely.

When do brake disc dust shields need replacing?

Unlike brake pads or discs, your brake disc dust shield doesn't wear out from friction, but it is constantly exposed to the elements. Over time, these shields can get rusted or bent and will need to be replaced to keep protecting your braking system.

A common sign your brake disc dust shield is ready to be replaced, besides any visible rust or damage, is a scraping or rattling noise that changes pitch while driving. This means the shield has bent and is now making a contact with the brake disc.
