Description
Ford Escape & Mazda Tribute Disc Brake Rotor Replacement — DBA Featured
> Your disc brake rotors are crucial for safe stops. Over time, they cop a beating from friction, warp from heat, or rust up – especially in tough conditions around our towns. Ignoring worn rotors is just asking for trouble.
Spotting Trouble: Is It Time for New Rotors?
• Brakes screamin' like a gutted possum?
• Feel a judder through the pedal when you brake?
• Taking longer to pull up at the lights?
• Rotors lookin' scored, cracked, or rusty?
• Pads wearing unevenly?
WOF Woes? Rotor Checks Matter!
Worn or rooted disc brake rotors are a surefire way to fail your WOF. They gotta be above minimum thickness and free from cracks to pass the test. No-brainer, really.

• Brake Dust Protection: Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from grease and dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use Brake Cleaner to clean the anti-corrosion shipping oil off the new rotors before mounting the calipers.
• Lubrication: Apply caliper grease to caliper slide pins and pad contact points to prevent squealing.
