- 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, but 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.
When debris accumulates, it can lead to premature wear of your braking system and potentially brake failure. The Brake Dust Shield is extra important for those who live in areas with salted roads because salt can corrode essential braking and suspension parts.
When is it time to replace your Nissan Brake Dust Shield? If your Brake Dust Shield is bent, cracked, loose, rusted, or missing, you need a replacement. Driving with a damaged or missing Brake Dust Shield might not have an immediate effect, but you risk shortening the life of your braking system.
The Brake Dust Shield is located underneath a few layers of braking hardware, which can make it hard to replace or install at home. Unless you are familiar and comfortable working with cars, we suggest ordering the component online and taking your car to the closest Nissan service center to have certified technicians replace the Brake Dust Shield.
You don't want to take any chances when it comes to the Brake Dust Shield and your braking system. Shop OEM parts to help ensure you get the right fit for your Nissan.
