text: How Can I Tell If My Rotors Need to Be Replaced? by Nick Davis

text: This can only be done a certain number of times before the rotor must be replaced.
text: If the grooves become deep enough, the rotor must be replaced.
text: Because of all the high-voltage activity, the rotor and cap have to be replaced relatively frequently.
text: Sometimes can be that one rotor needs to be replaced but the second one shows minimal wear.
text: How often do rotors need to be replaced?
text: Sometimes, you can almost tell on your own (or at least suspect) that your rotors need to be replaced by how the vehicle responds during braking.
text: Most rotors cannot survive that kind of abuse and will need to be replaced.
text: If your rotors need to be replaced as well, this could end up running you around $250 to $500 total (including pad replacement).
text: Any damage to integrally bladed rotor blades beyond minor dents requires the full removal of the engine so that the rotor may be replaced or, if possible, replacement blades welded on.
text: During routine service, when the distributor cap and rotor are replaced, it's customary to check the ignition timing to verify that everything is still aligned the way it should.
text: During routine tune-ups, which happen every 25,000 miles, the distributor cap and rotor are often inspected for premature signs of wear and tear and will be replaced if they are damaged.
text: In fact, the worn pads and the rotors will indeed have some wear pattern and the rotors may need to be replaced.
text: This is assuming the pads are being replaced BEFORE they have fully worn out and the metal backing plates are contacting the rotors (which does indeed require that the rotors be replaced) and the minimum rotor thickness has not been reached.
text: At this point the rotors need to be replaced or turned by a machine shop, which is the process of machining material off the rotor so that it is flat and smooth again.
text: The rotors are designed to help slow the down the car by the resistance produced by the brake pads, and when these pads go bad and need to be replaced, the rotors, at this time, will need to be replaced as well.
text: With some brands, such as some Honda Accords and various European modes, rotors are not designed to be resurfaced and should be replaced, regardless of the circumstances.
text: When cracking occurs, your rotors are done, they are unsafe to drive on, and should be replaced immediately.
text: So the next time your rotors need to be replaced, we hope you’ll know that no one’s being wasteful, trying to speed the job along or looking to make more on the brake service.
text: Rotors can be replaced or resurfaced unless they are under a certain thickness.
text: Rotors should be replaced if hard spots or cracks are present but can be resurfaced when they are grooved.
