- Important part of braking system
- Protects brake components from dust and debris
- Replace if broken, corroded, or missing
Your Nissan Brake Dust Shield is an essential part of your car's braking system, however, it's one that many people overlook. When you brake, the friction between the pads and rotors makes brake dust. Based on the name, it's unsurprising that the Brake Dust Shield helps protect your suspension and brake parts from this dust. It also helps protect them from dirt, sand, moisture, and more.
When debris builds up, it can cause early wear of your braking system and possibly brake failure. The Brake Dust Shield is particularly important for drivers who live somewhere with salted roads because salt can cause essential braking and suspension parts to corrode faster.
How do you know it's time to replace your Nissan Brake Dust Shield? If your Brake Dust Shield is cracked, rusted, bent, loose, or completely missing, you need a replacement. Driving with a missing or damaged Brake Dust Shield might not cause immediate harm, but it could shorten your braking system's lifespan.
The Brake Dust Shield lives underneath a few layers of braking hardware, which might make it difficult to replace or install at home. If you aren't familiar with or comfortable working on cars, we suggest ordering the component online and bringing your vehicle to your local Nissan service center to have trained professionals handle the Brake Dust Shield replacement.
