scooter Member 62 Member For: 22y 1m 23d Location: Emerald Vic Posted 24/04/03 08:14 PM Share Posted 24/04/03 08:14 PM Does anyone know the purpose of the black disks between the wheel and the brake rotor???? AU's seem to have them as well. Removing them seems to expose the rotor more and look abit better for us on stanard brakes.(are they on premium brakes)Can they be causing the brake shudder prob by limiting the air circulation from around the brake. Any thoughtsScoot Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/1747-black-disks-purpose/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guests Posted 24/04/03 11:30 PM Share Posted 24/04/03 11:30 PM Ive got premium brakes and no dust shield, just heaps of brake dust . I think premium dont get dust shields because of heat disperision. the dust washes off easy so be it.

Guest falchoon58 Guests Posted 27/04/03 12:37 PM Share Posted 27/04/03 12:37 PM The black dust sheilds make not difference to the brake shudder problem, as I've tried both ways.
