Abstract
A shield is slidably mounted to a cylinder of a shock absorber and fastened to a piston shaft of the shock absorber. The shield may include a circumferential slot that fits over a disk formed on the piston shaft to secure the shield to the piston shaft. The shield may include a partial cylinder that extends over a point of entry of the piston shaft into the cylinder. For example, the shield may have a cross section that is a 200 to 270 degree arc. The shield may include a guide along an interior surface that engages a slider secured to the cylinder. The guide may be a slot and the slider is a post seated in the slot.
