when this broke apart on one side of my truck I decided I probably didn't need it. Now that I've got the other side opened up I'm having doubts. I think this has been covered on a different forum but I really can't be sure it was the same part in question, as the photos are all now dead links in that thread.
Anyway, this is a '92 2WD. I think it's called a dust shield, or brake dust shield? My passenger's side one is totally gone. Should I replace them? can I do without? and is symmetry important ie should I remove this one now that it's twin is gone? I've read these pull air in to cool the rotors which has me concerned about doing without or being unbalanced.
Thanks in advance everyone. It's the large part my hand is touching.
