- 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 uses a disc brake system, then it has disc brake rotors. These plates are connected by the axle to each wheel, and can usually be seen inside the wheel. Your Nissan Disc Brake Rotor (Rear)s are crucial to your braking system because they help stop your vehicle with friction. When you engage your brakes, the pads squeeze the Disc Brake Rotor (Rear)s to cease the movement of the wheels.
Your Disc Brake Rotor (Rear)s begin with a smooth surface, but as they experience more heat and friction, this surface wears down. Rotors usually last 50,000 to 70,000 miles, but driving habits can greatly impact this timeframe. Riding your brakes and stopping abruptly can wear out your Disc Brake Rotor (Rear)s faster. Worn brake pads can also negatively affect the rotors.
Some symptoms of Disc Brake Rotor (Rear) issues are squealing while braking, an illuminated brake light on the dash, and shaking while braking. You can inspect a Disc Brake Rotor (Rear) by looking for visible cracks, warping, rust, and grooves. A failing Disc Brake Rotor (Rear) can lead to weak braking performance and longer braking distances, so immediate replacement is critical. Generally, it's suggested to replace rotors in pairs to help keep braking power balanced.
You can replace your Nissan Disc Brake Rotor (Rear)s by yourself with the correct tools and training. You can also bring your car to the closest Nissan service center to have trained technicians handle the replacement.
Whether you replace your Nissan Disc Brake Rotor (Rear)s on your own or take your vehicle to a service center, you should make sure you have the right part for your model and year. Shopping genuine OEM Nissan parts can help you find the right fit for your vehicle.
