Repercussions of removing Brake Dust Shield
What are the consequences of removing the brake rotor dust shields on a daily driver? Mine are fairly flimsy and corroded, and are rattling around like crazy.
I can't see that it would cause too much trouble to take them off...with the only exception being that road grit would get in the back of the hub and damage the inner bearings. However, shouldn’t the seal prevent that from happening?
If the consensus is to keep them on..then what do people do to reinforce them? Or do you just buy new ones?
