Hub baffle plate / Dust shield

[jlduthie]

Hey all,

 

a quick search turned up nothing. Per the images below there’s supposed to be a dust shield between the baffle plate and the disc/hub assembly. The dust shield is discontinued and looking at FSM and Nissan parts website there’s not a continuation after 1998 but the baffle plate is different. 
 

Is there anyone who can confirm that the “new” baffle plate (post-1998) does not have a dust shield built in and that the part in question was apparently deemed unnecessary by Nissan? I believe the seals on the back of the hub are identical pre- and post-1998.

I was going to say no, but here's a photo from my 2003 and it has something that looks a bit like one that might just be part of the baffle. I have never actually removed it. The baffle plate doesn't look like the picture either. Here's a capture from the 2004 manual too. Hope this helps.
