How many miles before you should change your rotors?
As long as your rotors are not warped, or you have not let the brake pads wear to the point they defaced the rotors, there is no need to change them. Just install new brake pads. Rotors can last the life of the car.
What is the average life span of rotors and brake pads on a 95 Ford Probe?
The disc brake pads usually last 40,000 to 50,000 miles under normal conditions. The rotors should last for 2 brake jobs unless they have been run metal to metal.
What is the life expectancy of rear rotors on a ford explorer?
Rear rotors should last 100,000 miles easily!! change your brake shoes at around 45-50,000 miles
Should I replace the BMW brake rotors when I get the brakes fixed?
There is no need to spend the money if it doesn't need done. Typically your rotors last longer than your brakes do anyway, so you should be fine for a while.
How long do rotors last?
Brake rotors life depends on how much you use you brakes and how fast can last anywhere from a year or two sometimes a little longer
Do the rotors have to be turned when replaceing brake pads on a 2005 chavy trailblazer?
The new pads will last longer, work better, and be quieter if the rotors are resurfaced.
What makes car tremble when braking?
This is not much information, but I'll give it a try. If the front brake rotors have too much run-out, "wider in some spots than others" then the rotors need refaced or replaced. If the problem is in the rear brakes, the brake drums are out-of-round and need resurfaced. If you feel the tremble in the brake pedal when you brake, then the problem is certainly in the brake system. ------------ He is correct...the rotors are probably warped. Replace the rotors if they are warped that bad. You can get them turned but they are going to be thinner than new rotors and whatever caused them to warp last time will happen faster. (heavy braking and riding your foot on the brake can cause the rotors to warp)
Steering wheel shakes when going downhill and braking?
It's PROBABLY warped disk brake rotors. Brake rotors will warp when overheated and if you go downhill very often, they've probably overheated. Replace the rotors with a high quality product and they'll last longer.
What is average life of Mercedes brake rotors?
If you are worried about that, then you probably should buy a honda.ANS 2 -With average driving and changing pads as soon as required, I would expect Mercedes rotors to last as long as the car (or at least 20 years.)
How long should rotors and brake pads last?
that will depend on the typy of lining on the brakepads and how hard you stop and how often but you should see around 40,000 mile on the front even longer on the rear if everything is correct
What is the minimum brake rotor thickness for a 2003 Ford Excursion?
Got these from ford last night for an 03 7.3L 2WD DISCARD at: Front rotors 1.417 Rear rotors 1.010
Why replace brake rotors?
Brake rotors are subject to a lot of heat and wear. After a period of time, they warp and have to be "turned". turning the rotors actually makes them thinner so they won't last as long as they did. Everytime they are turned, the thinner they get. There is a point where they are too thin to safely use. That point is stamped on the rotors and it is illegal for someone to turn past them that point. Rotors are not expensive and your brakes are the most important part of your car. I wouldn't skimp on my brakes.
