Brake rotors are an essential part of your braking system because they are the piece that stops your wheels from spinning when the brake pads clamp down on them. Brake rotors are designed to withstand high temperatures during the process of braking. They need to dissipate the heat quickly so that you can press down on the brake pads again. Because of this intense heat, the surface of the brake rotors can get warped over time. As a result, your brakes may feel jittery and less effective. Brake rotor warping isn't always as bad as it sounds. Warping simply means that there is an uneven surface brought about by heat. Brake rotors can be distorted for the following reasons: The brake rotors can become glazed with substances from the brake pads. The glazing can occur when the brake pads get too hot, which causes the pad material to rub off. As a result, the brake rotor surface will become uneven and decrease the overall efficiency of the brakes. The surface ... read more
