Key Features & Benefits

This part is essentially a dust shield and debris protector for your trailer brakes. It’s a curved metal plate that mounts around the brake assembly – specifically, it goes between the brake shoes and the backing plate. It’s designed to deflect road grime, water, and especially brake dust away from the brake shoes themselves. It’s not a structural part, it doesn’t make the brakes work, but it keeps the working parts cleaner. Think of it like a raincoat for your trailer brakes. It doesn’t stop them from braking, but it protects them from the worst of the elements. It sits right there on the trailer axle, covering a large portion of the brake assembly. It’s a pretty simple piece, honestly, but it does a good job. You’ll often see these get bent or damaged from rocks hitting them while backing up or driving on gravel roads.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Keeping brake dust and grit off your shoes is important because that stuff wears them down much faster. Think about sandpaper – that’s what brake dust effectively is against your shoes. The Midskirt keeps a lot of that from getting there, extending the life of your brake shoes, and keeps everything running smoother. You’ll notice if one's missing or damaged because you might start hearing squealing or grinding from that wheel, and you’ll definitely go through brake shoes faster.
