Front and Rear Brake Rotors
The front and rear brake rotors on the 2011 Lexus RX 450h serve distinct roles and wear differently. Front rotors handle the majority of stopping force because weight shifts forward when braking, so they often show wear sooner; rear rotors assist with balance, parking brake function, and overall stability. When rotors warp, groove, or exceed wear limits, you may feel pulsation in the brake pedal or notice uneven pad wear. At Nalley Lexus Smyrna in Smyrna, GA, our certified Lexus technicians measure rotor thickness and runout to determine whether resurfacing is safe or full OEM replacement is required. We explain the cost-to-benefit of each choice and present transparent pricing, backed by warranties.
