Not the dust cap on the outside of the wheel bearing, the dust shield that goes behind the rotor on the spindle side. Going to buy a new set of rotors for my truck real soon and wanted to replace the rotted dust shields while the rotors are off. I can't find a Napa, Autozone, Advance, or any other local place that has them. Is it a dealer only part? Thought they'd be an easy find since I just picked up a pair the other day for a chevy at work from napa.

Truck is a '94 2wd F150

 

Probably your best bet is to give partsguyed.com a try.

 

LMC truck.has them but I think they're like $90 a piece!!

 

Yikes..

Still havent found anywhere carrying them. afraid to look at lmc if they're really that much. Maybe i'll just have to sweat a little and try to find a clean pair at the junkyard that I can sandblast and repaint.

 

Throw them in the garbage and dont worry about them. they are more hassle than they are worth. Every truck i pull the spindle, get the dust shield delete

 

Its not even a dealer only thing.... and LMC doesn't have it. I honestly went everywhere (and trust me when I want a something I never give up) b/c we just did a brake job on my truck. Everywhere I went they told me its pointless to keep and more of a hassle like Diesel Brad said, and not to mention it rots really quick.

 

My dealer can order them at 87 dollars a piece but Im not paying that.

 

damn proud of that sheetmetal i bet you could make them yourself if your patient or maybe just pull them off a newer truck and redrill the holes

they are not only used to shield dust they help cool the brakes also but i bet brad is correct you cant tell the difference

 

havent had em on mine, and my rotors are still in great shape....bout 6 months now

 

I agree, throw them away because they are very hard to find and expensive as well. Most folks I have talked with (mechanics), say the same thing, just remove them.

 

I did the "dust shield delete" mod too when I rebuilt my D60. PM me if you really feel you need them.
