Took my rear brakes apart to sleuth out an annoying squeak, and noticed that the metal shield behind the rotors is really rusty in places, to the point of falling apart. Where is the best place to find these pieces? And, what exactly are they called? TIA, David

They are available at the dealer, cheaply. Getting them on is another story. The rear axle hub has to be removed in order to get them on, if I remember right, and this is a PITA!!
Good Luck, it's a project and a half.
