Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — DBA Featured
> Disc brake rotors are those shiny metal discs your pads clamp onto, turning all that go-juice into whoa-juice for your Mitsubishi Magna or Verada. They can wear down, warp like a surfboard in the sun, or get all grooved up over time. That means dodgy braking, especially when you're battling the daily commute.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Feeling a wobble through the pedal or steering wheel when you hit the brakes?
• Hearing squeals, grinds, or scraping sounds?
• Taking longer to pull up at the lights?
• Seeing nasty scores, grooves, or funny colours on the rotor?
• Brake pedal feeling soft as after a cafe lunch?
WOF Woes?
Worn or rooted brake rotors? Yeah, nah, you're not getting that WOF sticker. They need to be a decent thickness and free from cracks or warping to keep you safe on the road.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10 (Tricky)
Time Needed: 1-2 hours per axle
What You'll Need: Jack, stands, wheel wrench, caliper tool, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, wire brush, maybe an impact wrench if things are stuck fast.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking, mate, safety first! Always use jack stands – never trust a jack alone. Grab some safety glasses to keep the crud out of your peepers, and nitrile gloves to keep your hands clean. A can of brake cleaner is gold for blasting away all that nasty brake dust. And don't forget a smear of anti-seize on the caliper bolts to make life easier next time.

Vital Fitting Notes
This DBA rotor is sweet for a bunch of Mitsubishi Magna and Verada models from the early 90s to the mid-2000s, including the Mitsubishi Verada i (1991-1994), Mitsubishi Magna i (1994-1996), and later models like the Mitsubishi Diamante/Verada i (2004-2005). Double-check your ride's year, model, and engine size; even within the same model, things can vary.

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• 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.
