did you keep or remove your rotor's dust shields?

[Jishory]

i finally got tired of mine and removed them, does anybody have a good reason i should put them back on? mine were bent to crap

 

[onetonbb74]

ill never put mine back on, mud is an issue with those things.

I dont have any because I never had any with mine. My buddy took them off. There supposed to help in cooling.

On one of my old D44s one side had one and the other sides was missing. Went to tear into to fix a bunch of stuff and there was mud packed in everywhere on the side with the shield on and the other side was alot cleaner. I have ditched them everytime since then.

Mine has them right now, but they are the one piece backing plates. I will be putting on a pair later this summer that don't have them. Too easy to get mud packed in them or rocks stuck in there. I did remove them from my XJ last year too.

Yank em! I had one make an annoying click/tap sound for a long time. Pissed me off enough to pull them off. Cleaning has never been easier.

They come off real easy like with an air hammer with a chisel bit. RRRRRRRRRRRRbang.

Are we talking about the same piece that slides over the spindle studs?

probably, but not all just slip on or off that easily.
