I.ve called several auto parts stores, but not yet a dodge dealer ( closed now over the weekend) Who sells the front wheel brake dust shields, for my 1994 Ram 2500 4x4 diesel?? Napa or places like them, do not list them..how about that steel gasket between the wheel bearing and front spindle, as shown in the enclosed photo. I started replacing both front wheel brake calipers because they were sticking, & kept going with the needed maintenance...leaving on a 1200 mile truck in less than 2 weeks...thanks!! all comments are welcome!

PM a guy on here :

Oliver Foster

he posts a lot in the first gen section, but I bet dollars to donuts he has your dust shields..

thanks for the response...I might try the dealer first thing in the morning & then the local salvage yards, just to get it asap. I'll keep him in mind! I'm surprised there isn't a company making these...

Pretty sure will be dealer only if they still make them.

Should be the same though from 94-99 at least 3/4 and 1 ton 4X4 gasser or diesel.

Might get lucky in the boneyard, otherwise ti is time to weld and splice.......

I tried to find two for my 98 but could not. Tried the dealer and they wanted over $100 for each one....Fat chance im paying that so I ended up fabricating them out of some sheet metal I had laying around. Not perfect but not one hundred bucks either. Your best bet is the auto wreckers.

That's INSANE at $100.00 each!! I'll keep checking the local 'Rustville' salvage yards! tks again!

Wow...I'm impressed! I was looking for the metal "Spacer" ring that goes between the front wheel hub bearing, to the knuckle. They no longer make it (per dealer) and no parts store I've searched has or even lists this item. So I took the best rusted one I had, and was going to buy a piece of metal to painstakingly make one by hand, and went to a large pipe/metal/steel supplier. Very helpful guys took me to a scrape bin & I found a scrape 16 gauge piece for $2.40. I was in the machine press room and asked if they could at least cut out the center for me, as I showed them my rust, swollen, deformed old ring. Using my old rusty ring, he went to a guy on a CNA-CAD computer & in 3 minutes designed a new one. They took my scrape 16 gauge piece, and placed it on the rack, as their machine moved over it, and proceed & cut me 4 new spacer plates with their automatic Plasma cutter!

Wow for $4.50 each I got new parts. I asked them about making some dust shields for my CTD truck & they feel confident they could! I didn't have my rusty ones with, but will go back there in a couple days! AWESOME! oh..they kept the patten in the computer if I ever need more!!! see photo of old rusty ones & their new ones. I need to clean some of the slag before putting it on, its minor. Told them they should market these and the dust shields!

I can't believe I came across your old posting about the dust shields! I have a 1994 3/4 ton 5.9L 4x4 and am doing the hubs, rotors, brakes and need to find dust shields and spacers. i know it's been a while but do you think the shop you used can make some and ship them to me in PA. ? Did you ever get the dust shields fabricated? Thanks

Never was able to find the dust shields- I might have a couple spacers left- still have the 94, but I'm putting it up for sale shortly- bought a beautiful 2003 ram 2500 4x4 from Nevada! low miles mint! let me check on the spacers & get back to you in a day..

Lyttle

I could sure use them if you can find them and don't mind selling them. thanks so much

RoadDiesel

Lyttle

I'm striking out so far searching for shields so i will probably try to repair mine or like you just do without. Those look like the spacers that fit my truck. My address is Michael Lyttle @ 4990 White Lane Glen Rock, Pa 17327. If you want anything for postage or your troubles? Thank you.
