Yes, the dust shield or backing plates, same thing. I got a gslse front and rear suspension and the front dust shields are badly rusted. I don't know if the one on my gsl will fit.

I did some research and yes the GSLSE backing plates are diffrent but the bad part is that is welded to the caliper mount. Now, where can I get a front GSLSE front caliper mount with the backing plates or dust plates? I'm stationed in Germany and that make it even harder. Can some one help me?. hey,

a good used one if good too.

I removed mine and never looked back! It only traps rocks against your rotors.... I removed them 7 years ago. Front and rear.... rears must be trimmed because they hold the brake line in place.
