AIC 55198 Splash Panel
$15.99
Replace a rusted panel with the AIC 55198 splash panel. OE-matched fitment, ships to all 50 states.
Splash panels (also called brake disc backing plates or dust shields) protect your rotor from debris, moisture, and road salt that would otherwise accelerate corrosion and uneven rotor wear. The AIC 55198 is manufactured to OE specifications, restoring that protective barrier with a precise, direct-fit installation.
Key Benefits
The AIC 55198 splash panel is manufactured to restore rotor protection and OE fitment. Here’s what this replacement part offers:
- Improved brake system longevity by reducing the debris exposure that contributes to premature rotor and pad wear.
- AIC manufacturing standards, backed by a standard parts warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
- Straightforward installation using factory mounting points, with no modification to the caliper, hub, or knuckle required.
- Corrosion-resistant material designed to hold up to road salt, moisture, and temperature extremes across all climates.
- OE-matching fitment engineered to AIC 55198’s exact mounting dimensions for a precise, direct-fit installation.
- Rotor protection that shields the brake disc from road debris, mud, and standing water, helping reduce uneven wear and corrosion.

Use Cases and Applications
This splash panel is suited for routine brake service, rust repair, and restoring rotor protection after an original panel has corroded or been damaged. Typical scenarios where drivers choose this part include:
- Replacing a rusted-through or cracked splash panel discovered during a brake job or rotation.
- Restoring OE rotor protection after off-road driving or exposure to heavy road salt.
- Addressing a rattling or scraping noise caused by a loose or damaged splash panel contacting the rotor.
- Completing a full brake system refresh alongside new pads, rotors, or calipers.
Because splash panels are manufactured for a specific axle position and side, this part is intended as a direct match for the axle position listed in the specifications — always confirm fitment against your vehicle’s OE part number and axle position before ordering. Replacing a damaged splash panel promptly helps prevent it from contacting and scoring the rotor surface, which can turn a low-cost repair into a more expensive one.
