Brake Splash Guard. Plate Baffle.
A shield used to contain the brake dust produced by the brake pads of a vehicle's disc brake calipers. This typically is mounted to the vehicle's wheel hub. Additionally, it functions as a splash guard to protect a vehicle's disc brake rotors from water, dirt and debris.
- Important part of braking system
- Protects brake components from dust and debris
- Replace if broken, corroded, or missing
The Brake Dust Shield is an essential part of your INFINITI's braking system, but many people overlook it. When you engage your brakes, the pads and rotors rub together, which creates brake dust. As the name suggests, the Brake Dust Shield helps protect your suspension and brake parts from this dust. It also helps protect them from sand, moisture, dirt, and more.
If debris builds up, it might cause quicker wear of your braking system and potentially brake failure. The Brake Dust Shield is particularly important for those who live somewhere with salted roads because salt can corrode essential braking and suspension parts.
When should you replace your INFINITI Brake Dust Shield? If your Brake Dust Shield is cracked, rusted, bent, loose, or completely missing, a replacement is in order. Driving with a Brake Dust Shield that is damaged or missing might not immediately harm your vehicle, but it could shorten your braking system's lifespan.
The Brake Dust Shield is found underneath a few layers of braking hardware, which might make it difficult to replace or install on your own. Unless you're experienced working with cars, we advise purchasing the the new part online and taking your car to your local INFINITI service center to have certified technicians replace the Brake Dust Shield.
When it comes to your braking system and the Brake Dust Shield, you don't want to take any chances. Shop genuine OEM parts to help find you get the right fit for your car.
