Brake Dust Shield
Bendix

Engineered as a protective shield in the wheel-end area, this component serves as the first line of defense against abrasive road debris, water ingress, and thermal cycling that can accelerate rotor and pad wear. The shield mounts to the hub or axle housing and is sized to deflect particles away from critical moving parts, helping maintain braking efficiency and reducing heat-related distortion. Constructed from durable metal with corrosion resistance suitable for long service life, it supports consistent pad life and reduces maintenance intervals by preventing debris buildup near seals and bearings. Proper installation preserves seal integrity around the bearing and spindle, facilitating smooth rotor runout and reducing noise. With VMRS classification 013-001-114, it is categorized among wheel-end shields, aligning with vehicle-specific assemblies in Bendix catalogs. The part is compatible with a broad range of heavy-duty applications and truck-tractor configurations where wheel-end protection is required, including service in off-road, urban, and highway environments. Inspect for dents or deformation during service; replace if damaged to maintain full effectiveness and to support safe braking performance.
