No. Rotors should last the life of the car if your pads are changed regularly, like they should be. The only time you have to replace the rotors is when you put off a pad change for too long. Your pads will eventually wind up metal on metal and grind really bad and this is what ruins the rotor. There are exceptions to this rule, though. Excessive and heavy braking can also cause an extreem build up of heat. This heat can warp a rotor causing your car to develope a weeble-wabble effect. I have seen them get so hot, they melt all the rubber seals with the area because of the tremendous heat they produce.
What else can I help you with?
You replaced the two front rotors on your 97 toy 4 runner two wheel drive because they were warped should the pads also be replaced there only10 months old?
YES, the pads should have been replaced at the same time you replaced the rotors.
What should you do if you replaced brake pads and calibrators and still severe vibration occurs?
You should have your rotors checked and possibly turned or replaced as necessary You should have your rotors checked and possibly turned or replaced as necessary
When should brake pads be replaced?
When they are about 3/4 worn before scoring and damage to rotors occurs
What should be replaced when in 2007 Mercedes e350 when the breakpad wear indicator is on?
Break pads should be checked if not replaced. Check condition of rotors at the same time.
What would cause a 97 Maxima to vibrate when you apply the brakes?
your brake rotors are warped. You should repalce you brake pads and have the rotors resurfaced if possible, or replaced.
How much should you pay to replace brake pads and turn the rotors on a Kia Optima?
I recently got a quote for my 2003 Kia Optima brake pads & rotors to be replaced in the rear and it came to $183 before taxes. This price is to replace both pads and rotors completely. Usually rotors don't cost much to be turned.
Is it necessary to change brake pads when changing rotors?
When rotors need to be changed usually the pads have worn down. It is always a good idea to change pads when changing rotors.
Does the specs on the rear rotor of the 2003 pt cruiser have factory groves for the pads?
The rotors should be smooth, no grooves where the pads touch.The rotors should be smooth, no grooves where the pads touch.
Are cutting rotors required with pad changes?
Not usually required but recommended. If the surface of your rotors have any grooves or gouges, then yes definatly have them "turned" at a shop or replaced. If your brake pads are replaced regularly then you should be fine.
Should new brake pads be tight against the rotors during installation?
No, new brake pads should not be tight against the rotors during installation. There should be a small gap between the pads and the rotors to allow for proper braking performance and to prevent excessive wear on the pads and rotors.
Cost to replace pads and rotors on 2000 Olds alero?
I replaced my two front rotors and pads for $97.00 plus tax just last weekend.PEPBOYS
Why does a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport shake when applying the brakes?
The most common cause of this problem is warped brake rotors. Get it replaced soon. Whenever you replace rotors, you should replace the pads. The old pads will have conformed to the shape of the rotors, so braking efficiency and life will be down if you use them with the new rotors.
