My major complaint about my PT Cruiser is the fact that the front wheels are filthy with brake dust within two days of having been cleaned. JC Whitney lists shields that are put on between the wheel and the pads and block the dust from the wheels. They are supposedly finned to keep the brakes cool. I've heard that on some vehicles these shields are fine, and on others they cause the brakes to overheat. What is the PT's status with using these?
