Front dust covers for wheel hub

[Mach1Mike]

Anyone notice if they are missing the front dust covers for the wheel hub.
When I was working on my brakes today I noticed they were not there, I suspect possibly when I got the wheels upgraded to hp and new tires the Tire Kingdom Tech forgot to put them back on... Cant seem to find the part for 2021 model, I do see for 2020.

Don’t worry, Magneride cars don’t have those

I thought those went away with tapered bearings you had to preload and lock nut with cotter pin.
Do the sealed wheel bearing/hub have these?

Why would a tire shop need to touch the dust covers?

They either were knocked off inadvertantly by the tire tech. or more likely, they were never installed or installed incorrectly at the factory. There is no reason for them to be touched while changing tires.

They aren’t missing, they were never there to begin with. As WD Pro stated, magneride cars do not have dust covers.
