Disc brake rotors are responsible for slowing vehicles and bringing them to a stop. The application of friction on both sides of the disc brake rotor from the caliper causes the rotation of the wheels to slow. Friction can be applied in a number of ways, including mechanically, pneumatically, and hydraulically. For more than a century, the friction method has been used in vehicles.
Replacing Disc Brake Rotors
Over the course of time, drivers may need to have the disc brake rotors in their vehicles replaced. While they typically last longer than pads, it is advisable to have them examined each time that the tires are rotated. The region where they come into contact with the pads should be inspected when changing the pads for any places where the surface is uneven. If such irregularities are found, consider having this auto component resurfaced so that the pads come into contact with the surface evenly. More severe problems include the surface becoming extremely worn, cracked, or burned. This can occur if the pads were not replaced when they should have been. The contact from the metal rivets of the caliper can warp the disc brake rotor, which can affect the alignment of the vehicle when trying to bring it to a stop.
