- 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, yet many drivers don't think about it. When you engage your brakes, the pads and rotors rub together, which creates brake dust. Based on the name, it's unsurprising that the Brake Dust Shield helps shield your brake and suspension parts from this dust. It also helps protect them from sand, moisture, dirt, and more.
If debris builds up, it might cause early wear of your braking system and possibly brake failure. The Brake Dust Shield is extra important for drivers who live in areas with salted roads because salt can lead to faster corrosion of essential braking and suspension parts.
When is it time to replace your Nissan Brake Dust Shield? If your Brake Dust Shield is cracked, rusted, bent, loose, or completely missing, you need a new one. Driving with a Brake Dust Shield that is damaged or missing might not cause immediate harm, but you put the lifespan of your braking system in jeopardy.
The Brake Dust Shield lives behind a few layers of braking hardware, which may make it challenging to replace or install on your own. Unless you are familiar and comfortable working with cars, we recommend purchasing the the new part online and bringing your vehicle to the closest Nissan service center to have certified technicians replace the Brake Dust Shield.
You don't want to take any chances with your braking system and the Brake Dust Shield. Shop OEM parts to help find you get the right fit for your Nissan.
