Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — Starring RDA
> Disc brake rotors are the unsung heroes in your Nissan Navara or Caravan's braking setup. They take a beating from friction and heat, and can end up warped or corroded, especially if you're giving them a proper workout. That means braking goes downhill fast, especially when you're grafting hard.

• Brakes squealing like a stuck pig?
• Feeling a judder in the pedal when you hit the brakes?
• Taking longer to pull up than you're used to?
• Rotors looking scored, cracked, or rusty?
• Brake pads wearing unevenly?
