Replacing Brake Rotors vs Turning Brake Rotors

What causes brake rotors to warp?  Heat

What does turning rotors mean?  Turning rotors is the process of lathing down a small layer of the rotor’s surface in an effort to create a smooth braking surface.

This is a question we often get about brake rotors. Over the years car manufacturers have slowly cut down on the size and weight of brake rotors causing them to become smaller and smaller. Not only do brake rotors play a crucial role in creating the friction that causes your vehicle to stop properly they absorb heat. Over time this heat causes the metal to warp ever so slightly which in turn causes a vibration or pulsation while braking.

Lathing or turning rotors is the process of shaving a thin layer of the metal off bringing the rotors back to the symmetrical shape they were in when installed.

However, when removing this layer of metal, you are taking away from the rotor’s ability to absorb heat, causing them to warp much faster this time.

Our professional opinion is that unless you have a large truck or European model vehicle it is best to replace the rotors rather than have them turned. If you’d like to read more about having brake rotors turned vs replaced visit our blog on the topic

How to tell if I need new Brake rotors?

Here are some common signs that brake rotors may need to be replaced:

• Vibration or pulsation: If you feel a vibration or pulsing sensation in the brake pedal or steering wheel when you apply the brakes, it could be a sign of warped rotors. Warped rotors can cause the brake pads to wear unevenly and can compromise the effectiveness of the braking system.
• Squeaking or squealing noise: While a squeaking or squealing noise can be a sign of worn brake pads, it can also be an indication of warped or damaged rotors. This noise occurs when the brake pads are not making even contact with the rotors.
• Rough or uneven braking: If the brakes feel rough or uneven when you apply them, it could be a sign of worn or damaged rotors. This can also cause the brake pedal to feel spongy or soft.
• Grooves or scoring: If you can see deep grooves or scoring on the surface of the rotors, it’s a sign that they’re worn down and need to be replaced. These grooves can cause the brake pads to wear unevenly and can also compromise the effectiveness of the braking system.
• Longer stopping distance: If it takes longer to stop your vehicle than it used to, it could be a sign of worn or damaged rotors. This can also be a sign of worn brake pads, so it’s important to have the entire braking system inspected to identify the root cause of the issue.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to have your braking system inspected by a professional mechanic. Worn or damaged brake rotors can compromise your safety and the safety of others on the road, so it’s best to address the issue as soon as possible.
