FEBI171529 Febi Brake Disc Shield

These shields, sometimes called dust covers, basically protect the rotor – that’s the disc the brake pads clamp down on – from outside stuff. Mostly water, road salt, dirt, and brake dust. They don't actually help with stopping the car, they’re more about keeping things clean and extending the life of other components. They’re usually made of metal or a tough plastic, and they fit right around the rotor. Think of it like this—the rotor gets hot when you brake, and all that grime gets thrown around. The shield acts like a barrier, reducing how much of that stuff gets onto the rotor and, importantly, onto the hub bearings and other nearby parts. It helps prevent corrosion and keeps everything running smoother for longer. They aren’t on every vehicle, some cars just don’t come with them from the factory, or they might have had them removed during a previous repair. Well, if you’re noticing excessive rust on your rotors or bearings, or if you're getting a lot of brake dust buildup, a missing or damaged splash shield could be the culprit. You’ll notice if you're constantly replacing rotors because they’re corroding quickly, or if you start hearing noises from the wheel bearings. It might seem like a small part, but it does a lot to protect more expensive components. You can often find them pretty easily online, Fixparts Online has a good selection, and installing one can really save you money in the long run by preventing bigger problems down the road. Shop with confidence: Brake Disc Splash Shield (MPN 171529) comes with a 3 year manufacturer guarantee!
