The Best Nissan Brake Rotors

To get your Nissan to stop, you need a reliable braking system. One essential part of that system is your brake rotors. You may not think much about them, since you can't see them. If they donÕt work right, though, you're going to have trouble stopping when you need to.

What Your Brake Rotors Do

Brake rotors are those round discs that connect to your wheels. They transform the kinetic energy from the rotating motion into thermal energy. That happens when the brake calipers close the brake pads onto the rotors. The friction from that generates heat, or thermal energy, in addition to slowing your roll.

How to Spot Failing Brake Rotors

Unfortunately, that heat can eventually cause your brake rotors to go bad. Pay attention to:

• A vibrating brake pedal
• A grinding sound when you brake
• Requiring more time and distance to stop

Don't let failing brake rotors go without repair, particularly if the brake pedal is vibrating when you apply pressure. That's a sign that your rotors may be warping, which is dangerous. The brake pads can't maintain consistent pressure when the rotors are warped. If your rotors do need to be replaced, insist on choosing genuine Nissan brake rotors. They're guaranteed to fit your model's specifications and work precisely as you wish. Find yours in our online auto parts department. Buy now to save time and money!
