Subaru Brake Rotors

Inside your Subaru, braking is a simple process. Apply gentle pressure to the brake pedal and your vehicle begins to slow. Use enough pressure, it stops completely. The mechanics of the process are slightly more complex, though. When you step on the pedal, your vehicle's calipers are activated and compress against the brake rotor, or disc brake, which is connected to your wheel's hub. The friction that is created slows and stops your vehicle. The high-quality brake rotors that came with your Subaru are durable and capable of withstanding years of wear and tear. However, the high heat generated by the friction needed to slow your vehicle eventually takes its toll.

Insist on Genuine Subaru Brake Rotors

The first sign that your brake rotors have gone bad is usually noise. If you hear squealing or scraping noises, that may indicate that your rotors are severely worn. An even more serious concern is when you feel vibrations when you apply to brake pad. That indicates your brake rotors may be warped. If that's the case, the brake pads that protect both the caliper and rotor are no longer being applied evenly. Driving with warped rotors can lead to brake system failure. Your brake rotors have a lifespan of about 70,000 miles, but you want to keep an eye – and ear – out for uneven wear.
