Dust shields, ok to ditch or important?
« on: March 23, 2013, 03:35:23 pm »
My offside rear dust shield has become very loose and is now clanging on the disc :lol - makes a great noise! (hmm) Can you do without them or is it wise to replace? Can't find any on the Bay, so I guess it's a stealer job - any idea of cost?

are you talking about the splash guards that go under the arches?
