Automotive Tips from Peak Performance Automotive New Castle: Rotor Problems
July 21, 2025
The brake rotor, or disc, is attached to your wheel. The brake pads rub on the rotor to slow your car when you are driving in New Castle.
Rotors can warp, crack or become misaligned. They can also be damaged by worn out brake pads that scratch grooves into the surface. These conditions result in less contact surface for the brake pads, leaving you with reduced braking power.
Over time and miles, rotors can also wear down below safe specifications. It is important for New Castle drivers to know that simply replacing brake pads on a wheel with a bad rotor will not solve the problem. Depending on their condition, rotors may be resurfaced or replaced.
Brake noise or a pulsation in the brake pedal are signs of potential brake problems that should be addressed right away. If you have any brake concerns, please have your friendly and professional Peak Performance Automotive New Castle tech perform a thorough inspection.
