Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve different roles on the 2021 Ford F-450 Super Duty. The front rotors take the brunt of braking force and typically wear faster due to weight transfer and heat buildup; rear rotors support stability and parking braking duties but can wear sooner under heavy towing or uneven loads. Knowing the difference helps diagnose issues: vibration under braking often points to front rotor run-out, while uneven pad wear or noise at slow speeds can indicate rear-side problems. Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper offers axle-by-axle inspections and can recommend resurfacing when appropriate or full replacement when safety margins are exceeded.
