What are rotors?
Brake rotors are a vital part of a vehicle’s disc braking system. Brake rotors are attached the wheels and spin as the wheel turns. A caliper clamps the down on the spinning rotor when the brakes are applied, and the vehicle slows down.
When do I need to resurface the rotors?
Over time the surface of the rotors wear from the friction created by the brake pads. There may be severe scoring, thickness variations, or excessive corrosion. The rotors will need to be replaced if they’ve worn down to a minimum acceptable thickness, but they can be resurfaced if they don’t exceed the minimum standards after being resurfaced. However, it is generally more cost effective to purchase new rotors.
What are my options?
The vehicle will probably need to be taken to an automotive repair shop that works on brakes. There are numerous braking ABS systems, while others sell service manuals online.
