Genuine GM Brake Rotors

Why Do Brake Rotors Fail?

Brake rotor failure in cars can be caused by various factors, including heat damage, wear and tear, corrosion, poor quality or defective rotors, brake pad issues, improper installation, and aggressive driving. Overheating from frequent and severe braking can cause the rotor to warp or develop cracks.

Normal wear and tear, rust information, and uneven pad wear can compromise the rotor's effectiveness. Manufacturing defects, incorrect torque, and hard braking can also contribute to rotor damage. It's essential to follow the recommended maintenance schedule to extend the component's lifespan.

1. Brake Pads

   Brake pads play a crucial role in slowing down or stopping a vehicle by creating friction against the brake rotors. Pads also come with wear indicators that produce a squealing sound when the pads are nearing the end of their lifespan.

2. Brake Calipers

   Brake calipers apply the necessary pressure to stop the vehicle.

3. Brake Lines

   Brake lines carry brake fluid from the master cylinder to the calipers or wheel cylinders. It is crucial to maintain their integrity, as any damage or leakage can compromise the brake system's hydraulic integrity.
