Description

Give Your RAV4 the Stopping Power It Deserves — With TRW Rotors!
> Right, let's talk brake rotors — they're absolutely critical for keeping your family safe on the road, especially in a versatile SUV like your Toyota RAV4, which probably sees everything from the school run to weekend adventures. Over time, all that heat and friction means wear and tear; we're talking warping, cracking, or just plain old wear, and that can really muck up your stopping power.
Is Your RAV4 Telling You It's Time for a Look-See?
• Feeling a bit of a wobble or pulse through the brake pedal or steering wheel when you hit the anchors?
• Hearing any squealing, grinding, or scraping noises when you're slowing down?
• Notice your stopping distances getting a bit longer than they should?
• Can you see any deep scores, grooves, or funny discolouration on the rotor surface?
• Does your brake pedal feel a bit soft or spongy?
WOF Check — Will it Pass Muster?
No way, mate! If your brake rotors are looking a bit sad — worn, warped, or damaged — your RAV4 won't be passing its Warrant of Fitness (WOF) here in New Zealand. The WOF inspection is super strict on braking performance and the condition of every single braking component. Any significant issues and you'll be getting a fail, plain and simple.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (A fair bit of elbow grease, but totally doable for the keen DIYer)
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle (if you've done this rodeo before)
Tools You'll Need: A solid jack, trusty jack stands (safety first!), lug wrench, a good socket set, torque wrench, C-clamp or a special brake caliper piston tool, brake cleaner, wire brush, and maybe an impact wrench if those bolts are stubborn.

Fitment Notes
This particular rotor is designed for a range of Toyota RAV4 models from '94 to '00. Seriously, double-check your vehicle's exact year, engine size, and trim level against the product specs to make absolutely sure it's a perfect match. Some RAV4s, especially those with different engine sizes or special editions, might need a different rotor — best to be certain than to be gutted!

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle, always install fresh brake pads. Check out our compatible TRW Brake Pads (SKU GDB1143) to ensure a perfect bed-in and get the job done properly first time!

🧰 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.
