Brake Rotors

Brake rotors are located directly behind the wheels of every vehicle. They are essentially discs that give grip to the brake pads in order for your vehicle to slow and stop.

What are Brake Rotors Made of?

Brake rotors are made of iron and other materials such as ceramic or carbon fiber. Built durably to withstand prolonged friction and heat, as well as road and weather wear, they typically last up to 70,000 miles before requiring an exchange.

The rotor disc can be smooth, or have a drilled, slotted, or drilled-slotted spaces in the surface. Smooth rotors are the most common for commuter vehicles. Higher performance cars, trucks, and SUVs however, use drilled or slotted rotor discs. This allows for more heat dissipation as well as allowing water and grime to pass through the rotors to avoid dirt build-up.

When Should I Change My Rotors?

There will come a time when you need to replace your old rotors with new ones. Some of the common signs for bad rotors will entail:

• Screeching or grinding when braking
• Cracked or score marks on rotor plates
• Vibrations in the steering wheel
• Pulling to one side when braking
• Deep grooves in surface of plates
