- 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 brake, the pads and rotors rub together, which creates brake dust. As the name implies, the Brake Dust Shield helps shield your brake and suspension parts against this dust. It even helps protect them from sand, moisture, dirt, and more.
When debris builds up, it might cause early wear of your braking system and even brake failure. The Brake Dust Shield is extra important if you live somewhere with salted roads because salt can lead to faster corrosion of 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 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 immediately harm your vehicle, but you risk shortening the life of your braking system.
The Brake Dust Shield is found beneath a few layers of braking hardware, which may make it hard to replace or install at home. Unless you are familiar and comfortable working with cars, we recommend ordering the component online and taking your car to your local Nissan service center to have the Brake Dust Shield replaced by certified technicians.
You don't want to take any chances with your braking system and the Brake Dust Shield. Shop genuine OEM parts to help find you get the right fit for your Nissan.
The Brake Dust Shield, part 411518J000, is compatible with Nissan Altima 2002-2006. For more fitment information, and to confirm you are getting the right part, look under the What This Fits tab.
