OEM Vehicle Brake Discs, Rotors & Hardware

The disc brake system in your vehicle depends on your brake rotors working properly. They are, after all, the nominal discs at the very heart of the system. They're attached to your wheel hubs, and convert rotating motion's kinetic energy into thermal energy. That sounds much more complicated than it really is.

What Brake Rotors Do

It all starts with you pressing on the brake pedal. That causes the master brake cylinder to send hydraulic brake fluid to pistons in your brake calipers. The calipers clamp brake pads onto the brake rotors, producing the friction – or resistance – that slows the rotation of your wheels. That friction produces heat (thermal energy), that the rotors release into the atmosphere.

Eventually, though, that heat can damage the pads or rotors. When that happens, your brake discs may warp, crack, or suffer other damage. That's not safe.
