Brake Discs, Rotors & Hardware

Your vehicle's wheel hubs have discs attached to them, via ribs. They're your brake rotors, and they're critical parts of the disc brake system. They help produce the resistance required for the vehicle to slow and stop.

They generate it by fastening to the brake pads. (These are the textured, friction-generating surfaces mounted atop the brake calipers.) In the process, they also help scatter the heat the braking process creates.

There are four types, generally: blank & smooth (called smooth, for short), which many cars use; slotted, which many SUVs use; drilled (also called cross-drilled), which many trucks and sports cars use; and drilled & slotted, which high-performance vehicles use. Smooth brake rotors are corrosion- and crack-resistant, easier on brake pads, and affordable. Slotted brake rotors provide better airflow for channeling dust and debris away. Cross-drilled brake rotors are highly reliable in wet weather, dissipate heat better, and work well for both towing and track applications. Drilled & slotted brake rotors bring together the top features of both slotted and drilled types.

Unfortunately, though, brake rotors aren't permanent. When they start showing signs they're failing, you should change them. Those include strange noises, wobbling when braking, and damaged rotor surfaces. See any, and you should do a brake rotor inspection followed by swapping out any problematic parts. Otherwise, they need to be replaced every 70,000 miles or so. Be sure to do it in pairs as well. It'll keep your brakes working as well as they can.
