- 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 Nissan's braking system, but many drivers don't think about it. When you brake, the friction between the pads and rotors creates brake dust. Based on the name, it's unsurprising that the Brake Dust Shield helps protect your suspension and brake parts against this dust. It also helps shield them from moisture, dirt, sand, and more.
When debris accumulates, it can lead to early wear of your braking system and even brake failure. The Brake Dust Shield is especially important if you live in locations with salted roads because salt can corrode essential braking and suspension parts.
How do you know it's time to replace your Nissan Brake Dust Shield? If your Brake Dust Shield is rusted, bent, cracked, loose, or missing altogether, you need a replacement. Driving with a missing or damaged Brake Dust Shield might not have an immediate effect, but it could shorten your braking system's lifespan.
The Brake Dust Shield is located behind a few layers of braking hardware, which might make it challenging to replace or install yourself. Unless you're experienced working with cars, we recommend purchasing the the new part online and bringing your vehicle to the closest Nissan service center to have the Brake Dust Shield replaced by certified technicians.
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 make sure you get the right fit for your vehicle.
