Description

Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — The RDA Way
> Your Subaru Legacy or Forester's disc brake rotors are the unsung heroes of your braking system. Over time, they cop a beating from friction and heat, which can make your brakes less effective, especially when you're dealing with everyday traffic and all sorts of road conditions.

Spotting the Warning Signs
• Hear any squealing or grinding when you hit the brakes?
• Feel a wobble or pulsing through the brake pedal?
• Taking longer to pull up to a stop than usual?
• See any nasty scoring, rust, or other damage on the rotor itself?
• Notice your brake pads wearing unevenly?

WOF Woes?
Worn or dodgy brake rotors are a surefire way to fail your WOF here in NZ. Your rotors need to be above the minimum thickness and free from major cracks or damage to pass the test.

DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per rotor
Tools You'll Need: Jack and stands (never get under a car supported only by a jack!), wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and maybe some new brake pads while you're at it (recommended).

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates!: Chuck on some safety glasses to keep any rust or brake dust out of your peepers. And grab some nitrile gloves to keep your hands clean from all the brake dust and grime. Seriously, brake dust is nasty stuff.
• Cleanliness is Key: Before you even think about putting those new rotors on, give everything a good blast with some Brake Cleaner. Get rid of all that old brake dust and any other gunk that's built up.
• Stopping Squeaks: A little smear of anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper bolts and the back of the brake pads will stop annoying squeaks later on. Trust me, your ears will thank you.

Expert Advice
Worn brake rotors are a serious safety risk for your Subaru. Getting them replaced will make sure your brakes are working as they should and can prevent damage to other braking bits and pieces. RDA rotors are a solid choice, but at CARFIX, we've got a heap of options to suit any budget and how you drive. Give Bob a yell at CARFIX, and he'll sort you out with the right parts for your Subaru. Head over to Bob's Shop for a yarn!

Fitment Notes
Double-check that those new rotors are the right fit for your Subaru Legacy, Forester, or Outback model and year. Make sure the rotor diameter and thickness are spot-on before you start fitting them. Some models might need special tools or a slightly different way of doing things.

🧰 What Else You'll Need:

• 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.
