- 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 important part of your braking system, yet it's one that many people overlook. When you use your brakes, the friction between the rotors and pads makes brake dust. Based on the name, it's unsurprising that the Brake Dust Shield helps protect your brake and suspension components from this dust. It also helps shield them from moisture, dirt, sand, and more.
When debris builds up, it can cause premature wear of your braking system and even brake failure. The Brake Dust Shield is particularly important for drivers 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, a replacement is in order. Driving with a damaged or missing Brake Dust Shield might not cause immediate harm, but it could shorten your braking system's lifespan.
The Brake Dust Shield lives underneath a few layers of braking hardware, which might make it hard to replace or install at home. Unless you're experienced working with cars, we suggest ordering the component online and taking your car to the closest 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 OEM-made parts to help find you get the right fit for your car.
