Brake Rotors

Your brake rotors are the round discs attached to the wheel hubs. As part of your Ford vehicle's brake system, they're one of the components responsible for stopping the rotation of your wheels.

What Brake Rotors Do

For you, stopping means pressing the brake pedal. That causes the master brake cylinder to send brake fluid through lines and hoses. The pressure from the fluid causes the brake calipers to close brake pads onto the brake rotors. That creates the friction that causes your vehicle to slow.

Learn the Signs of Failing Brake Rotors

Your brake rotors can go bad, though. If they get damaged or warped, your safety is put at risk since the pads can't maintain consistent contact. Check yours if you notice any of the following:

• Vibrating brake pedal
• Weird noises from your brakes
• Obvious signs of damage

Genuine OEM Brake Rotors Perform Best

If you don't experience any of these symptoms, check your owner's manual for your recommended maintenance schedule. When you do go to replace your faulty brake rotors, make sure to replace them in pairs to enjoy consistent braking performance. You'll also want to get the right rotors for your vehicle, which means shopping for the ones Ford made specifically for your model. They come with a guaranteed compatibility that can't be matched.
