Factory Honda Brake Rotors Online
At your end of things, braking is simple. You press the brake pedal with your foot, and your Honda vehicle slows. Apply enough pressure and you completely stop. The mechanics of the process are a bit more complicated, with numerous parts involved. Your brake rotors are among the most important of those
How Brake Rotors Work
The brake rotors are also called disc brakes. They're the circular discs that connect to your wheels. They convert the rotating motion's kinetic energy into thermal energy. When you press that brake pedal, a signal tells the master brake cylinder to release brake fluid to the brake calipers. The pressure build-up causes the calipers to clamp your brake pads onto the rotors. That creates the resistance, or friction, needed to stop. That friction produces thermal energy, or heat, which is released into the air.
Signs of Failing Brake Rotor
That heat takes a toll on your brake parts, though. If you notice any of the following, have your brake rotors examined;
- A vibrating or bouncing brake pedal
- Grinding noises whenever you brake
- Taking longer to stop
You don't want to drive with failing brake rotors. If you notice that your brake pedal is bouncing or vibrating, that's a clear sign that your rotors have become warped. If that's the case, your brake pads aren't able to make consistent pressure. That's dangerous. When it is time to replace your brake rotors, insist on using genuine Honda parts. They're guaranteed to fit your model, meaning you can trust them to fit and perform right out of the box. Our online auto parts department has a great selection in stock and ready to ship. Buy now!
