Are brakes and rotors the same component in a vehicle?
No, brakes and rotors are not the same component in a vehicle. Brakes refer to the system that slows down or stops the vehicle, while rotors are the discs that the brake pads press against to create friction and stop the vehicle.

Why do your brakes on your Oldsmobile feel like they are being pumped when you press slowly on the pedal?
Rotors "out of round" and need to be resurfaced or replaced?
What makes your 96 Saturn jerk when you press the brakes?
most common reason your car would jerk while on the brakes is that you have warped your rotors. your rotors are what the brake pads grab onto to stop your vehicle. they are made of steel, usually mid-grade, or in some cases low-grade steel. as the rotors heat up and are cooled rapidly they can become out of round. or if the rotors are starting to wear thin, they cannot dissipate heat as efficently as they should, they can warp at this time too. If you have warped rotors, they reak havok on your brake pads. you will have to replace all warped rotors and brake pads as a set.
Why does a 2001 Chevy Malibu jerk when you press on the brakes?
all cars with abs breaks do this!! but if you feel it in the pedal then you have bad front rotors!!
What are the differences between brakes and rotors?
There is no difference between brakes and rotors because the rotor is just one of the many parts that make up a brake. The function of a brake rotor is to stop the wheels from spinning. The rotor is what the brake clamps hold on to stop the car.
What are the differences between brake rotors and disc brakes, and how do they affect the performance of a vehicle?
Brake rotors are the flat, metal discs that the brake pads press against to slow down the vehicle, while disc brakes refer to the entire braking system that includes the rotors, pads, calipers, and other components. The design and material of the rotors can affect the braking performance of a vehicle, with factors such as size, weight, and cooling capabilities influencing how effectively the brakes can stop the vehicle. Upgraded rotors can improve braking performance by providing better heat dissipation and reducing brake fade during heavy use.
Why is my car making a squeaking noise when I press the brakes?
Your car may be making a squeaking noise when you press the brakes due to worn brake pads or brake rotors. This can happen when the brake pads are worn down and the metal backing plate is rubbing against the rotor. It is important to have your brakes inspected and repaired by a professional mechanic to ensure safe driving.
I have a 04 Mercedes C230 Kompressor Sport Sedan When I step on my brake my car shakes especially when I'm in sport mode And also the brakes sometimes squeaks too when I step on them?
If the car shakes when you press on the brakes, you probably have warpped brake rotors, and the squeak is probably some worn out front brake pads. I would have your rotors checked and either replaced (which Mercedes highly recommends or re-surfaced)
How does braking system work with friction?
When the brakes are applied, the brake pads press against the brake rotors, creating friction. This friction converts the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into thermal energy, slowing down the vehicle. The more friction generated between the pads and rotors, the faster the vehicle will decelerate.
You press the brakes and the car is at a full stop it shakes like you could feel the vibration what does this mean?
If you mean when you are coming to a stop, and press on the brakes, you feel a vibration- this most likely means that your brake rotors are warped and need to be turned. If you mean you are already at a full stop, in idle, and you press the brake and feel a vibration- it may mean a vacuum problem in the engine or something like that. So it depends- is it your brakes vibrating, you feel it in the pedal? Or is it your engine suddenly running rough and the whole front end of the car shakes?
How do you change the rotors on a 1987 Mazda 323?
The front rotors need to be pressed on, if you know someone with an industrial press you can do it yourself.
