What are the signs that indicate a worn brake rotor and when should it be replaced?
Signs of a worn brake rotor include vibrations or pulsations when braking, squealing or grinding noises, and uneven wear on the rotor surface. A brake rotor should be replaced if it is too thin, has deep grooves or scoring, or if it is warped and causing braking issues. It is recommended to replace a worn brake rotor as soon as these signs are noticed to ensure safe braking performance.

Should the brake pads be replaced on a 99 Chevy Silverado with under a 100K miles?
The only way to determen that is to inspect the brake pads themselves. Do you hear a shricking noise when the brake pedal is depressed? Their is a metal clip that when Brake pads get worn ut will scrap along the rotor to indicate to the driver the Brake pads need perplacing. To best deteman that is to inspect them and see where that metal clip sits to where it is going to hit the rotor. If the rotor is gouged or has grooves in it, it would be best to have a shop lathe the rotors if they are still thick enough or buy new rotors. Good luck
What are the signs that the rotors in a 2000 Toyota 4runner need changing?
If you're changing the brake pads and there is too little rotor thikness to turn it, it should be replaced. If the rotor is warped and is too thin to be able to turn to remove the warping, replace it. If the brakes "pulsate" when you use moderate brake pressure, the rotor is warped.
How do you stop brake caliper from rubbing on rotor?
The brake caliper should not touch a rotor ever. There is a metal backing plate on the brake pad that can rub the rotor if the pad wears thin enough.

No, brake pads should not be constantly touching the rotor. They should only make contact when the brakes are applied to slow down or stop the vehicle.
How does a brake rotor function?
The brake rotor functions similar to the breaks on a bicycle. Each brake rotor contains a rotor and a brake pad. When the brake is applied, the brake pads squeeze the rotor, causing the wheels to stop.
