Brake Rotors

Considering new brake rotors for your Toyota? Rotors are key brake pieces to your Toyota's brake system. They work in line with the brake pads and calipers. Here's why rotors for your Toyota are important and what to look for if you think they're on the fritz.

Brake rotors are essential metallic cylinder plates located behind car's wheels. They are what gives traction to the brake pads when you press the brake in order to slow and stop your vehicle. Commonly made of iron, some rotor types are ceramic and or carbon fiber materials.

There are a range of brake rotor styles for Toyota. The most common rotor designs are smooth, slotted, drilled, and drilled-slotted. Smooth rotors are the most basic design and work efficiently for commuter sedans and small SUVs. Higher performance vehicles and larger Toyota models may use drilled, slotted, or a combination of the two. They allow for better heat dissipation and performance with the open spaces across the rotor's surface.

You may have recently noticed when braking a loud grinding or screeching noise. Maybe even a pull of the steering wheel to one side when slowing or stopping. This could be a rotor issue. Like other auto parts, over the years, or typically above 70,000 miles, your rotors may become misshapen or faulty. When this occurs, seek replacement rotors for your Toyota ASAP!
