Re: Missing 'gasket' between spindle and dust cover on disc brakes?

The little gaskets are the circles pictured in this set. I never have figured out a purpose for them other than to stop a rattle between the dust shields and the spindle. They are not used on the CPP modular spindles as those do not have provisions for the shields.

My 1980 Trans Am has them and according to the guys on the forums there, the purpose is just for anti-rattle. You will never see them or even know if they are there as the dust shields hide them completely.
