Front and Rear Brake Rotors
Front and rear rotors serve different roles. The front rotors usually absorb the majority of braking force because weight transfers forward under deceleration, so front rotors and pads often wear faster. Rear rotors support stability and parking brake function and may require different inspection criteria. Nalley Lexus Smyrna evaluates both axles and explains why one may need replacement sooner than the other, offering clear, itemized pricing and OEM parts to keep performance consistent. Ignoring uneven wear can lead to vibration, decreased stopping distance, and costly additional repairs. Our service advisors will walk you through warranties, the immediate savings from timely repairs, and long-term value of correct OEM installations.
