Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The 2012 Ford Escape uses rotors on both the front and rear axles, but front rotors typically handle more braking load and heat, so they often wear faster. Front rotors are larger and paired with higher-performance calipers to manage the bulk of stopping power during normal driving, while rear rotors assist with balance and stability. When a front rotor begins to warp or thin, you may feel pulsation in the brake pedal; rear rotor issues more commonly present as noise or uneven braking under certain conditions. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT, our factory-trained technicians measure rotor thickness, check for runout, and review your driving profile to recommend resurfacing or replacement. We stock OEM parts to maintain braking performance and vehicle value, and we document the work so warranty terms remain intact—repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership.
