Disc shields and backing plates

The thin steel plate behind the disc that keeps road water, grit and spray off the friction face.

Also called splash guard, dust shield.

How you know it is this

  • A light metallic ringing or scraping that changes with road speed but not with braking — usually a bent shield touching the disc
  • Visible rust holes in the plate behind the wheel

Worth knowing before you buy

  • Cheap, and almost always damaged during a disc change or a kerb strike rather than worn out.
  • Left bent, it will wear a groove in a new disc.
  • Side-specific — left and right are not the same pressing.

What we need to quote it. The chassis number settles the generation, the body and usually the engine in seventeen characters — it is on your mulkiya. A photograph of the old part helps where there is more than one version.
