Roneeson Brake Dust Shields for Subaru Forester/Impreza/Crosstrek — Front Left & Right Pair, Corrosion-Resistant Backing Plates

Roneeson front left and right brake dust shields are replacement backing plates engineered to protect the front brake assemblies on select Subaru Forester, Impreza and Crosstrek models.

If you drive a Subaru Forester (2008–2018), Impreza (2008–2016), XV Crosstrek (2013–2015) or Crosstrek (2016–2017), these Roneeson splash plates restore the shield that blocks road debris, water and dust from reaching your front brake components. Each set includes both the left and right front shields so you can replace both sides for balanced protection and a consistent fit.

How do these shields protect my Subaru’s front brakes?

These backing plates serve as a barrier between the wheel wells and the brake hardware, reducing exposure to grit, stones and moisture that accelerate wear and corrode parts. They don’t alter braking performance but help lengthen the life of rotors, calipers, and sensors by keeping contaminants away.

• Shields deflect road debris and help prevent staining and pitting on rotors
• Reduce water spray onto brake assemblies during wet driving
• Minimize buildup of dust and salt that cause corrosion
• Sold as left + right front pair for matched coverage

Will these parts fit my Subaru model and year?

Roneeson designed this pair specifically for a range of Subaru front-end applications. Confirm compatibility by matching your vehicle model and production year with the listed fitment before ordering to ensure bolt patterns and contours align correctly.

• Compatible: Forester 2008–2018
• Compatible: Impreza 2008–2016
• Compatible: XV Crosstrek 2013–2015
• Compatible: Crosstrek 2016–2017

What’s included and how difficult is installation?

The package contains one front left and one front right brake dust shield—everything needed to replace both sides. Installation is a straightforward bolt-on job for anyone comfortable removing the wheel and brake components; some minor cleaning of mounting surfaces and basic hand tools are usually all that’s required.

• Package: 1× front left shield, 1× front right shield
• Typical tools: jack, stands, socket set and screwdrivers
• Installation: moderate DIY skill or standard shop labor
• Check torque specs and fasteners for secure mounting

What are these made of and how durable are they?

The shields are formed from corrosion-resistant sheet material designed for the road environment; their contours match the factory mounting points to maintain fit and durability. With proper installation and occasional inspection, they provide long-term protection against common road hazards.

• Stamped or pressed metal construction for strength
• Protective coating to resist rust and road salt
• Engineered to align with original mounting points
• Intended as direct replacements for worn or damaged shields

Who is this for: This Roneeson front brake dust shield set is for Subaru owners who need a direct-fit replacement for worn, bent or missing front backing plates on compatible Forester, Impreza and Crosstrek models. It’s ideal for DIY mechanics, maintenance shops, and drivers who want to reduce brake-component wear and corrosion without modifying their vehicle.
