I removed the dust shield things from the front brakes of my Audi last year because they were so rusty they had buckled and were catching on the discs. They serve little purpose anyway as far as I can see so it was a no brainer for me. However, I believe that a missing or insecure backing plate is a failure. Does this only apply to drums where the backing plate has a much more serious job to do?

if they are just shields with nothing else attached to them, you should be fine. I havn't have any on my cars for the last 14 years.
