How Do You Know When Rotors Are Bad?
Identifying bad rotors in your vehicle can involve several signs and symptoms, including:
- Brake pedal pulsation or vibration when applying the brakes.
- Excessive noise, such as squeaking or grinding, during braking.
- Visible scoring, grooves, or uneven wear on the rotor surface.
- Reduced braking performance and longer stopping distances.
Should Rotors Be Replaced with Brake Pads?
It is recommended to replace rotors with brake pads if they exhibit signs of damage, excessive wear, or if you're changing the brake pads due to routine maintenance. Installing new rotors along with fresh brake pads ensures optimal braking performance and safety. It provides a smooth and even braking surface for the new pads to make contact with, improving overall braking efficiency.
How Much Should It Cost to Replace Brake Pads and Rotors?
The cost to replace brake pads and rotors can vary depending on factors such as your vehicle's make and model, the quality and brand of the brake components, and where you have the work done. In general, a typical brake job that includes both pads and rotors can range from around $300 to $800 or more. It's essential to choose high-quality brake components and ensure the installation is performed by a qualified technician for reliable and safe braking performance.
