Description
Swapping Out Your Mazda 929's Disc Brake Rotors — With TRW
> Those disc brake rotors on your Mazda 929 are dead important. They cop a hiding from your brake pads, and over time, that friction wears them down. You'll notice dodgy braking, maybe some shuddering, and things can get hairy pretty quick, especially in a heavier sedan. Time to get it sorted!
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Brakes squealing like a stuck pig?
• Pedal pulsing when you hit the anchors?
• Taking longer to pull up than you'd like?
• Rotors looking scored, rusty, or just plain sad?
• Brake pads wearing unevenly?
WOF Woes?
Buggered brake rotors are a dead cert for a WOF fail here in NZ. They've gotta be within thickness specs and in reasonable nick to pass the test.
