FEBI174923 Febi Brake Disc Shield

These are basically metal plates that sit behind your brake rotors – the shiny discs the brake pads squeeze to stop the car. Their main job is to deflect stuff. Road grime, brake dust, even small stones and debris – they all get kicked up while you're driving. The shield doesn't stop everything, but it really minimizes what gets lodged between the rotor and the backing plate. They also help deflect water, reducing rust buildup on the rotor’s surface. Think of it as a protective layer for your rotors. It’s not a structural part, meaning the car won’t fall apart without it, but it’s part of the braking system and contributes to how efficiently it operates. It doesn’t actually apply the brakes, it just helps keep the parts that do, working smoothly. It acts like a shield, preventing damage from external sources. Well, if stuff gets between the rotor and the backing plate, it can cause noise – squealing, grinding, that sort of thing. More seriously, it can score the rotor surface, causing uneven wear and reducing braking performance. That scoring can eventually lead to needing to replace the rotors sooner than you would otherwise. These shields help prevent all that. You’ll notice if one is missing or badly damaged usually through noise – a consistent grinding sound, especially after hitting bumps. You can find these pretty easily, sites like Fixparts Online usually have a good selection. It’s a relatively inexpensive part that can save you money on bigger brake repairs down the road. Buy risk-free: Brake Disc Shield (MPN 174923) is covered by a 3 year manufacturer guarantee!
