Dust Shield Removal

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.

 

Yes, driving through sand, driving over gravel.. you name it. It stops after 50 miles or so but damn it drives me nuts.

 

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.

 

No problems here on my '09.
