Factory BMW Brake Rotors

Brake rotors are an essential component of any vehicle's braking system. They play a key role in stopping a car by converting kinetic energy into heat energy via friction. While brake rotors are known for their durability, they do wear out over time and can become a safety hazard if not taken care of properly.

How to Spot Brake Rotor Issues

One of the most common signs that brake rotors are going bad is vibration when applying the brakes. This vibration can be felt throughout the car, and it is often caused by the rotor becoming warped due to excessive heat or wear. Additionally, if there is a high-pitched squealing sound when braking, it is often a sign that the brake pads are worn down and need to be replaced. It is important to address these issues as soon as possible, as they can lead to decreased stopping power and longer stopping distances.

Another sign that brake rotors are going bad is a visible groove or lip on the rotor's surface. This groove can be caused by brake pads that have worn down to the metal, or by small stones or debris that have become lodged in the brake pad. If left unaddressed, this groove can become deeper and lead to uneven brake wear and decreased stopping power.

It is also worth noting that brake rotors have a specific minimum thickness, and if they are below this threshold, they must be replaced. This minimum thickness can vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle, so it is important to consult the manufacturer's specifications to ensure that the rotors are within acceptable limits.
