How do you know when to replace brake rotors?

  • Replacement is recommended for deep scoring, excessive runout, or when rotors are below minimum thickness. We measure rotor thickness and provide a clear estimate.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front rotors on the 2012 Ford F-450 Super Duty typically endure more stress because front brakes handle the majority of stopping force and heat, especially under heavy loads and downhill braking. Rear rotors still play a vital role in vehicle stability and parking brake performance. Uneven wear between front and rear can come from driving style, load distribution, or brake hardware issues. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper we inspect both axles, measure rotor thickness, and check calipers and pads to recommend resurfacing or replacement only when appropriate. We use OEM rotors and genuine Ford components so balancing, ABS sensors, and brake feel remain consistent.
