Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — RDA's Got You Sorted
> Your vehicle's disc brake rotors are absolutely crucial – no arguments there! They take a hammering from friction and heat, especially on tough vehicles like the Mitsubishi L200 and Pajero that are built to handle both sealed and unsealed roads. Ignoring wear means risking your braking efficiency and, more importantly, your safety. Time to get the job done right!
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Hearing squealing or a nasty grinding when you hit the brakes.
• Feeling vibrations or pulsing through the brake pedal.
• Noticing it takes longer to stop than it used to.
• Seeing obvious scoring or damage on the rotor surface.
• Your brake pads are wearing unevenly – never a good sign.
WOF Woes? Time to Act!
Worn or dodgy brake rotors are a surefire way to fail your WOF here in NZ. They need to be within the manufacturer's thickness specs and free from cracks to pass the test. Don't get caught out!

🧰 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.
