- 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 Nissan has disc brakes, then it has disc brake rotors. These 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 since they help stop your vehicle with the use of friction. When you engage your brakes, the pads squeeze the Disc Brake Rotor (Front)s to halt the movement of the wheels.
Your Disc Brake Rotor (Front)s have a smooth surface, but as they're exposed to more heat and friction, this surface becomes worn. Rotors generally last 50,000 to 70,000 miles, but driving habits can affect this timeframe. Making sudden stops and riding your brakes can wear out your Disc Brake Rotor (Front)s quicker. Worn brake pads can also negatively affect the rotors.
Some signs there's an issue with your Disc Brake Rotor (Front) include squealing while braking, an illuminated brake light on the dash, and shaking while braking. You can inspect a Disc Brake Rotor (Front) by looking for visible cracks, warping, rust, and grooves. A worn Disc Brake Rotor (Front) might lead to poor braking performance and longer braking distances, so fast replacement is a must. Normally, it's suggested you replace rotors in pairs so the braking power remains balanced.
You can replace your Nissan Disc Brake Rotor (Front)s on your own with the right tools and training. You can also take your car to the closest Nissan service center to have trained technicians handle the replacement.
No matter if you replace your Nissan Disc Brake Rotor (Front)s at home or stop by a service center, you want to 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.
