Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — DBA Featured
> Your disc brake rotors are mission-critical for stopping safely. They gradually wear down from your brake pads, especially if you're clocking up serious mileage on a 4x4 like a Holden Jackaroo or Isuzu Wizard. Tough conditions, heavy loads, and frequent off-road adventures really take their toll.
Signs It's Time for New Rotors
• Annoying squeals or grinding when you hit the brakes.
• A shudder or pulsing feeling through the brake pedal.
• Your stopping distance feels longer than it used to.
• You can see scoring, cracks, or rust on the rotor itself.
• Your brake pads are wearing unevenly.
WOF Worries?
Worn brake rotors are a quick way to fail your WOF here in New Zealand. They need to be above a minimum thickness and free of cracks to pass the test.
