Brake dust shield is a plated protection made up of aluminum and present between the brake disc and the rim. The main job of the brake dust shield is to prevent the dust from setting on the rims by catching the debris and dust. A brake without a dust shield is more prone to dirt build-up. Having a dust shield in your vehicle’s braking system, you can avoid premature wear and tear. That’s why it is recommended to have a brake dust shield on the wheels.
