Question on dust shields (behind rotors)
2001 Maxima GLE with 135K miles. Dust shields are rotting out and were starting to rub against the rotors intermittently. I bent them back out of the way and they broke apart and are for the most part gone.....
If I choose not to replace them will this cause any issues with anything underneath the car? I am running ceramic pads all around with new rotors all around and new calipers in the rear.
Am planning to sell the car before winter sets in and don't want to spend any unnecessary $$ on it

If to much debris builds up on the rotor it will cause some shaking while braking and probably premature wearing of brake components.
I say you can get away with it until winter. Depends if you are the kind of salesman that doesn't mind screwing the buyer (assuming you don't mention this) or if you would rather go to a junkyard and grab one if possible.

its called a brake dust shield for a reason, it keeps brake dust away from certain areas. Other than that they really serve no function so you dont in any way endanger the brake operation by removing them.
