FEBI175475 Febi Brake Disc Shield

These shields are basically metal plates that sit behind your brake rotors – that's the disc the brake pads clamp down on. They cover the back of the rotor, protecting it from road debris like stones, salt, and grime. They also help deflect some heat away from the internal brake components. Think of it as a shield, really. It doesn't stop everything, but it takes the brunt of a lot of stuff that could otherwise cause damage. They’re part of the overall brake assembly. They aren’t directly involved in stopping the car, but they help maintain the integrity of the braking system. They’re usually bolted to the hub or the caliper bracket. They're often overlooked, but they do contribute to a longer lifespan for the more expensive parts, like the rotors and calipers themselves. Well, without them, those rotors are much more exposed. Road salt and stones can cause scoring and rust, leading to uneven braking and eventually needing to replace the rotors sooner. A shield taking a hit from a rock is a lot cheaper than replacing a warped or damaged rotor. You’ll notice if one’s missing or really beat up because you might start hearing more road noise coming from the brakes, or you could have premature wear. It's a relatively inexpensive part, and a good preventative measure. You can find them pretty easily online – a place like Fixparts Online usually has a good selection. It’s one of those things that, when it’s working, you don't even think about it, but you’ll certainly notice if it's not there. Buy risk-free: Brake Disc Shield (MPN 175475) is covered by a 3 year manufacturer guarantee!
