Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — The RDA Way
> Your SsangYong Tivoli or Tivoli XDi 160's disc brake rotors are what your brake pads grip to bring you to a halt. Over time, especially with all that urban stop-start we see across the country, they wear down. Letting them go too long means dodgy braking and a potential safety issue. Let's get those brakes fixed!
Spotting Trouble: Is It Time for New Rotors?
• Brakes making a racket? Squealing or grinding sounds are a bad sign.
• Feeling a wobble through the pedal when you brake?
• Taking longer to stop than usual?
• Rotors looking rough? Scoring, rust, or other damage?
WOF Woes? Rotor Issues and Inspections
Worn or damaged disc brake rotors are a surefire way to fail your WOF here in New Zealand. They need to be above the minimum thickness and in good nick to pass the test.
DIY or Get a Pro?
• Difficulty: 6/10 (A decent weekend job)
• Time Needed: Give yourself 1.5 - 2 hours per axle.
• Tools You'll Need: Jack and stands, wheel brace, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and maybe a brake piston retraction tool.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, a little prep goes a long way. Grab some Brake Cleaner to blast away all that nasty brake dust – it's not good to breathe in. Some Nitrile Gloves will keep your hands clean, and safety glasses are a must to protect your eyes. While you're at it, a wee squirt of anti-seize caliper grease on the bolts will help next time you're in there. Remember, safety first! Never get under a car supported only by a jack – use proper stands!
Bob's Two Cents
Keeping your disc brake rotors in good shape is a no-brainer for safe driving, especially in vehicles like the SsangYong Tivoli and Tivoli XDi 160. Swing by Bob's Shop, and we'll sort you out with the perfect parts for your SsangYong.
Fitment Notes
Double-check these rotors are the right fit for your SsangYong Tivoli or Tivoli XDi 160's year (2015-2999) and model. Rotor diameter and thickness need to be spot-on before you start fitting.

• 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.
