Parts specialist febi has highlighted the important role played by Brake Disc Shields and the extensive coverage it can offer on these components. 

Brake Disc Shields are simple pressed and painted mild steel covers that are mounted behind the brake disc on the wheel hub or suspension knuckle. They prevent road debris, extreme temperature fluctuations, and contamination from damaging the disc, as well as protect any plastic or rubber components behind the disc from the heat and friction material dust generated by the brakes.

If the shields deteriorate due to corrosion or distortion, this can be a cause a number of issues: 

• Premature wear and corrosion of the brake discs. 
• Possibility of excessive contact with external factors, such as water and road debris, due to shield material losses caused by corrosion. 
• Risk of damage to any of the fixings to the suspension and steering joints. 
• Noise due to distortion, causing contact with rotating or moving parts. 
• Excessive heat from the brakes affecting rubber or plastic components, causing melting or burning, if the shield is missing or completely corroded.

febi offers a comprehensive range of over 200 Brake Disc Shields in its range, with new application added to meet demand of new models. The shields are galvanised with an electrophoretic coating for added durability.
