Toyota Brake Rotors

What Brake Rotors Do

You have to have trustworthy brakes if you want your Toyota or Scion vehicle to stop reliably. The brake rotors have an important part to play when it comes to ensuring that happens on command.

The brake rotors are those round discs that connect to your wheels. They convert the kinetic energy from rotating motion into thermal energy. That happens when the brake calipers clamp the brake pads onto the rotors. The resulting friction, or resistance, generates heat, or thermal energy while slowing the rotation of your tires.

How to Spot Bad Brake Rotors

Unfortunately, that heat can eventually cause your brake rotors to go bad. Signs of this include:

• A bouncing or vibrating brake pedal
• Grinding noises when you brake
• Needing more time and distance to stop
