How often do brake rotors need to be replaced?

Toyota rotors should be replaced by 70,000 miles but may wear out faster depending on your driving habits and a host of other factors. Normally you will need to replace rotors in pairs starting with the front axle of your Toyota as they tend to wear out quicker. Schedule an appointment online with Nalley Toyota Stonecrest to get a free multipoint inspection on your entire brake system.

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Toyota brake system is comprised of the following key components:

• Backing plate & return spring holds your Toyota braking system together so it can function correctly.
• Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to activate the parking brakes. When the lever is used or pedal depressed, the cable pulls the calipers or drums to activate the parking brake of your Toyota.
• Brake Hoses carry brake fluid from the brake line to your Toyota brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be inspected generally for cracks and alternative symptoms of deterioration. Check your Toyota maintenance schedule for more information on when your hoses should be replaced.
• Anti-lock Braking System pump and computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road at exhaustive times.
• Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Toyota brake pedals to function the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
• Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby extending the life of your brake system.
• Rotors also called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are many types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let Toyota Stonecrest find the immediate type of brake rotors for your Toyota
• Brake pads or shoes are the components that physically makes contact with your brake rotor and applies pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's extremely meaningful to keep Toyota brake pads fresh by replacing them as the undergo quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Toyota maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
• Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Toyota rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.

Brake pads consist of two layers: a metal backing plate and a high-friction material that includes rubber, fiber, carbon & other materials. Over time, brake pads wear down and can even start squeaking. This noise is the metal backing plate & the rotor touching, which also acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can also cause damages to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start warping them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate also protects the brake caliper from excessive heat buildup.

Brake calipers cover the rotors and contain pistons. The amount of pistons depends on the type of brake system. Brake fluid from the master cylinder forces these pistons to maneuver the brake pads against the disc. The brake caliper will evenly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Generally, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

Can I just replace brake pads and not rotors?

Yes, your Toyota rotors will often last longer than your brake pads as long as you replace your pads before doing damage to your calipers or rotors. By not replacing your brake Toyota pads in a timely manner you can damage the other components.

Toyota Front Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement

Wear and tear on your brakes depends greatly on your driving habits and the type of brake pads your Toyota has, but usually front brakes wear out before rear breaks at 30,000 - 60,000 miles because they are typically under much less stress.

Toyota Brake Fluid

Where does brake fluid come into the equation? The brake fluid or hydraulic fluid is responsible for moving the components of your Toyota brake system. Fresh brake fluid is something few people think about, even though it can dramatically affect braking performance. Brake fluid should be changed frequently. Consult your Toyota maintenance manual for information on discrete mileage intervals.For any brake akin questions or concerns, reach out to our Toyota experts at Nalley Toyota Stonecrest. You can even schedule your appointment online.

Keep in mind you should always have your service department perform a multipoint inspection which includes inspecting your brake system.
