Original Nissan Brake Rotors

The brakes in your Nissan depend on many parts working together to produce the friction needed to slow your wheels. Your brake rotors are one such part, along with the calipers and brake pads.

What Brake Rotors Do

The brake rotors are those round discs that attach to your wheel hubs. When you press down on the brake pedal, the master brake cylinder sends hydraulic fluid to pistons located in your brake calipers. The pressure of that fluid forces the calipers to close down onto your rotors, generating the resistance that slows your vehicle. Since the calipers and rotors are both made of metal, there are brake pads attached to the caliper ends to cushion the contact and prevent damage.

How to Spot Brake Rotor Problems

Unfortunately, even the best brake rotors can eventually warp or go bad. That's not safe, since you need the brake pads making consistent contact in order to stop when and where you want. Signs of failure include:

• A bouncing or vibrating brake pedal
• You hear a grinding sound when you brake
• You need more time and distance to stop
• You see obvious signs of damage
