The brake disc splash shield (also known as a dust shield or backing plate) is a thin metal plate mounted behind the brake disc that deflects road debris, water, and dirt away from the braking surfaces and hub assembly. On the Range Rover L322, exposure to off-road conditions accelerates corrosion and physical damage to these shields, which can cause them to deform and contact the rotating disc, producing a metallic scraping noise. Correct replacement restores the protective barrier and prevents premature wear to the disc and hub bearing. Key Features Stamped steel construction designed to match original Land Rover profile and mounting points Mounts directly behind the brake disc - brake disc and caliper removal required for installation Genuine Land Rover part number SMD500080, ensuring OEM fit and specification compliance Supplied as a single shield - confirm front or rear axle position and purchase in pairs where both shields are damaged Vehicle Fitment This part fits the Range Rover (L322) from 2002 to 2009, covering the full model range produced during that period.
