- Round disc connected to wheel
- Helps create the friction needed to stop the motion of your wheels
- Replace when worn to help with optimal brake performance
If your vehicle has a disc brake system, then it has disc brake rotors. These round metal plates are connected by the axle to each wheel, and you can usually see them inside the wheel. Your Nissan Disc Brake Rotor (Front)s are important to your braking system because they use friction to help stop your vehicle. When you engage your brakes, the pads squeeze the Disc Brake Rotor (Front)s to halt the motion of the wheels.
Your Disc Brake Rotor (Front)s start with a smooth surface, but as they experience friction and heat, this surface becomes worn. Rotors usually last 50,000 to 70,000 miles, but driving habits can affect this timeframe. Riding your brakes and making sudden stops can wear out your Disc Brake Rotor (Front)s quicker. Worn brake pads can also negatively affect the rotors.
Some signs of Disc Brake Rotor (Front) issues include an illuminated brake light on the dash, squealing while braking, and vibration while braking. You can inspect a Disc Brake Rotor (Front) by looking for visible cracks, warping, rust, and grooves. A failing Disc Brake Rotor (Front) can lead to poor braking performance and longer braking distances, so fast replacement is important. Generally, it's suggested you replace your rotors in pairs to help the braking power stay balanced.
Your Nissan Disc Brake Rotor (Front)s can be replaced at home with the correct tools and training. You can also take your car to your local Nissan service center to have trained technicians carry out the replacement.
Whether you replace your Nissan Disc Brake Rotor (Front)s at home or bring your vehicle to a service center, you should make sure you have the right part for your model and year. Shopping genuine OEM Nissan parts is an easy way to find the right fit for your vehicle.
