For effective operation, all vehicles need functioning rotors. Rotors assist your car in coming to a safe stop when you apply the brakes. Listed below are a few indicators that it's time to replace your rotors. When you suspect rotor trouble, contact G & J Auto Repair Shop in Inglewood and Bellflower, CA, for expert service.
Rotors should still be inspected every time your car is serviced even though they last twice as long as brake pads. By testing the thickness of your rotors, mechanics can determine whether they need to be replaced. Your car's service manual will state the minimum thickness your rotors can withstand, or the number may be etched right onto the rotors.
It is possible that the brake rotors are worn out or broken if you hear a screeching sound when you apply the brakes. When it's time to replace the brake pads, some models have a mechanical wear sensor that emits an audible signal. When you bring your vehicle in for brake pad repair, rotors should also be inspected.
Road debris and regular wear and tear can eventually ruin rotors. As rotors age, they may have fractures or grooves. One of two groups can be used to classify rotor cracks. Racing vehicles might experience hairline cracks due to operating at high temperatures. These cracks are common, and new rotors are not necessary. Larger cracks, however, that go all the way to the rotor's edges must be repaired or replaced.
