So back again and baffled to say the least. So i finally came to the conclusion that i had to throw my dust shields away on my ford explorer 8.8, they were mangled beyond belief. Now I'm stuck with the problem of trying to find new ones, no dice with summit, or Jeg's I was hoping someone may have had this problem in the past with a swift remedy. As much as I would like to do away with them completely i don't really see that a possibility being as the e-brake is essential to what I'm trying to accomplish so if any one knows where I can buy some new ones and just the shields themselves you would be a enormous help

 

try ford or a junkyard.
