They have ones that seperated, so don't buy these unless you're ripping out the backend.
Probably
It worked on my 2004 Chevy 2500, but it's unlikely to work on a 2010 Mercedes-Benz.
I'm not sure why, but it worked perfectly for my 2003 Dodge 2500.
Selected User Reviews For Dorman 924-228 Front Brake Dust Shield for Select Dodge Models
NOS are available, but they are a rip-off at around $50 each. I asked the company that makes these if they would work on a 2002 and they said no, but others had said they did, so I took a chance and ordered them, and they fit perfectly. The shield is about 1/2 inch taller than the original, but that isn't an issue. The Dana 60 front end is fitted to my truck. br>I'm not sure why they say these won't work on older trucks, but here's a picture of mine, which worked perfectly with no modifications.
To be sure, these are compatible with 2nd generation pickup trucks. I have a 2001 Dodge Ram diesel 4wd 4wheel abs with a Dana 60 front axle, and these worked flawlessly without any modifications. I'm not sure why they put 2003 as the first year because I know they work on a 2001. They've made me very happy. Also, I'm not sure why, but after ripping off the old rusted ones, I had two failed abs sensors. These, I believe, are necessary to prevent the sensors from being damaged by heat generated by the rotors. Rather than ripping off the old ones, I strongly advise you to put these on.
On a 2006 Ram 2500, it was very simple to install. I have a suggestion for you. The slot through which a sensor passes was very sharp, I noticed. My abs light turned on one day after I installed new wheel bearings and abs sensors. Due to the sharp edge on the dust cover slot, the sensor had a slice in it, which I discovered. My light was turned on because the sensor was shorted out. I went to an auto parts store and purchased high-temperature gasket maker, which I applied to the slice as well as along the sharp edge. Allow time for it to dry before resetting the abs light. No abs light is still working after three weeks and many miles.
The dust shields on my 2003 Dodge 3500 4wd were replaced perfectly with this product at an unbeatable price. Just like the original, there should be a slot for the ABS sensor. See the photos for a side-by-side comparison with the old dust shield. In addition, unlike the originals, they are powder coated and come with a Dorman lifetime warranty. see pics.
They are a high-quality product, but they are not compatible with my 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 with a Dana 60 axle (my fault for mixing up part numbers from another site). They don't sit flush because of an extra tab. It has to be for a newer model Ram. Still, they're better than my old shredded ones, and I'll figure out a way to make them work. If I went to a parts store, I could either bend the tab or cut it off for a third of the price.
a fantastic deal! a quick delivery.
They're a tad thinner than OEMs, but they work fine and get the job done. After many miles of use, they are usually destroyed when attempting to remove them, so plan on replacing them whenever the unit wheel bearing is replaced. The price is excellent, and the product performs admirably.
I'm not sure how well they'll hold up, but they do come with a lifetime corrosion warranty.
