Collection: Brake disc dust shields

Brake disc backing plates – selecting the correct part

Brake disc dust shields reduce contamination around parts of the disc and protect adjacent components. Construction, mountings and dimensions differ, so select for the exact vehicle version rather than its make alone.

How to recognise a problem

Corrosion, cracks, contact with the disc and distorted metal require inspection but do not automatically prove that the shield needs replacing. Check neighbouring components before ordering.

How to match backing plates

Compare OE number, side, axle, brake disc diameter and mounting points. The OE reference and manufacturer's catalogue are the best starting points; also check dimensions and vehicle equipment.

What matters during replacement?

Follow service procedures, tightening torques and any required adjustments. Do not fit parts based solely on similar dimensions. See also brake discs.
