Ive seen several people remove them when modifying their brakes.
what does everyone think? -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

Dust shields serve two purposes -- they protect the brakes and and potentially the hub bearings from being contaminated with road grime (and any leaking oil from the engine), and to a lesser extent shield the steering and transmission components (particularly the boots) from debris.
There's really no benefit to removing them except for making it easier to access your brakes or to accommodate oversize components. On the rears, of course, they're required to mount the drum brake hardware or the parking brake hardware. |
