Shield
Bendix

A protective shield designed to defend critical brake and wheel-end assemblies from roadway debris, heat, and impact damage. Constructed with new manufacturing quality, this shield features a rugged, corrosion-resistant surface and geometry optimized to preserve rotor and pad life by reducing abrasive intrusion and splash debris. Properly selected shields help minimize wear on caliper anchors, hoses, and mounting hardware while maintaining aerodynamic flow around the hub area. The two-shield configuration aligns with a family of protective components used across multiple axle platforms, with cross-references to related shield models ensuring compatibility with the same family of brake hardware. Category 41393 places this item within the protection and enclosure subset of the braking system, underscoring its contribution to fleet reliability by maintaining core components in clean, cool operating conditions and reducing servicing frequency due to environmental exposure.
