    Hey there.

    I'm having a lot of issues with my dust shields. I believe I'm getting rocks jammed in between the rotors and the shields. I randomly get the loudest screech ever from my front rotors, sometimes it happens when I hit a bump. It's been happening very frequently the last few days, and it is driving me absolutely nuts.

    Long story short, has anyone else had this issue? As well as would I have any issues, if I gave the shields a hack job?

    Thanks

    I thought about just taking mine off, I still get crap stuck between the shield and the rotor all the time.

    Does it make that horrendous screech as well?

    It's beyond frustrating.

    I wonder if I pushed the shields back if it would help?. You would think more space would help the rocks fall out, but that could backfire as well.
