- 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, however, it's one that many people overlook. When you use your brakes, the friction between the pads and rotors produces brake dust. Based on the name, it's unsurprising that the Brake Dust Shield helps protect your suspension and brake parts from that dust. It also helps protect them from moisture, dirt, sand, and more.
When debris builds up, it might cause early wear of your braking system and possibly brake failure. The Brake Dust Shield is particularly important for those who live in locations 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, a replacement is in order. Driving with a Brake Dust Shield that is damaged or missing might not cause immediate harm, but you risk shortening the life of your braking system.
The Brake Dust Shield is located behind a few layers of braking hardware, which might make it challenging to replace or install at home. Unless you are familiar and comfortable working with cars, we advise purchasing the the new part online and taking your vehicle to the nearest Nissan service center to have certified technicians replace the Brake Dust Shield.
When it comes to your braking system and the Brake Dust Shield, you don't want to take any chances. Shop OEM parts to help make sure you get the right fit for your Nissan.
The Brake Dust Shield, part 411514FU0A, is compatible with Nissan Sentra 2016-2018. For more fitment information, and to confirm you are getting the right part, see the What This Fits tab.
