Description

Ford Falcon Disc Brake Rotor Replacement: Get it Sorted with RDA
> Your Ford Falcon's disc brake rotors are what your brake pads clamp onto to stop you safely. Over time, these rotors can wear down, warp from heat, or even crack, especially if you're giving it heaps in an XR6 or XR8, or hauling weight in a Fairlane or LTD.

Is Your Braking a Bit Dodgy?
Here's what to look out for:
• Your brake pedal's vibrating like crazy
• Squealing or grinding when you hit the brakes
• Taking longer to stop than you reckon it should
• Rotors looking cracked or scored
• Your brake pads are wearing unevenly

Will it pass WOF?
Yep, dodgy rotors are a quick way to fail a WOF here in NZ. They need to be within the thickness specs and free from cracks to pass the test.

DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, caliper compressor tool (optional but recommended).

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those brakes, grab these from Bob's shop – they'll make the job safer and cleaner than a pie from the bakery:
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away all that nasty brake dust. Seriously, it gets everywhere.
• Anti-Seize Caliper Grease: Keep things moving smoothly and prevent squeaks. A little dab'll do ya.
• Safety Glasses: Protect your peepers from flying grit. You'll thank us later.
• Nitrile Gloves: Keep your hands clean and free from brake dust. No one likes greasy mitts.

And a wee safety tip: Never, ever get under a car that's only supported by a jack. Use proper stands – it's a no-brainer.

Expert Recommendation
Worn brake rotors are a real safety risk. Swapping them out keeps your Falcon stopping sweet and reduces the chance of brake failure. RDA rotors are a good, solid choice, but CARFIX has a bunch of options to fit your budget and driving style. Bob @ CARFIX is always ready to help you find the right part for your Ford. Head over to Bob's Shop for a yarn!

Fitment Notes
Make sure your new rotors are the same size as the old ones – diameter, thickness, and bolt pattern. Some Falcon and Fairlane models have different rotor sizes depending on the year and model.

🧰 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.
