Cut it, beat it or Replace it lowered front end dust shield
I dropped the front end of my truck and discovered tonight it was not my brakes dragging but my rotor is rubbing against the dust shield
See the attached photo for the area of concern. Has anyone else ran into this situation? These are ece drop spindles

Re: Cut it, beat it or Replace it lowered front end dust shield
I don't think those dust shields are bent right. I don't recall that flat spot on my stock shields. You sure those are not a later model? I will have to take a look at mine tomorrow in the daylight.

Re: Cut it, beat it or Replace it lowered front end dust shield
Are those ECE dust shields? The ones I got from them don't have that cut out in them.
