So I was hearing a rubbing sound on the way home from work today and I stopped to look at my front wheels and noticed a sheet of rusty metal inside my wheel. Made it home, took front left wheel off and saw that most of my brake shield had disintegrated. I did my best to remove the rest of it to make the wheel at least turn noise free. So, am I needing to replace these( I’ll do both fronts)? How important are they? I don’t really trailer or tow much. Don’t live in the mountains. Is this something that a Saturday mechanic can do? Saw a lot of posts about the rears, not much about fronts or completely corroded ones. Thanks
