Question Do I need to fix this? (PIC)

Hey folks, found this today when I tore my brakes apart...



Do I need to fix this ASAP? The other puck boot is ballooned out as well. How would I go about doing this if I need to do it? Thanks.

no its just a dist shield and really wont cause any issues unless you want to replace them.

if you do want to replace them get a caliper rebuild kit and it will have 2 o rings per caliper and 2 dust boots and its a very simple process to change them

Thanks Jake. If it really isnt a big deal then I will wait a while on the fix.

if you start to feel a change in the braking or it pulling to one side then id take another look at it. until then you should be fine with regular use. (not getting it submerged etc)
