Every time you stop, your brake system depends on a quality, functioning BRAKE ROTOR in order for your vehicle to stop like it should. However, uneven wear and rust can significantly decrease the operation of a BRAKE ROTOR.
A BRAKE ROTOR can usually last for a few thousand miles. But factors such as rough driving conditions, snowy or icy roads, and de-icing road salt can rapidly decrease a BRAKE ROTOR lifespan. It may be time to buy new brake rotors if: You hear a squeaking or grinding sound. Your brakes don't seem as responsive. Your brake pedal feels spongy or squishy. There's a burning smell when you brake hard while driving. You feel vibrations when you brake.
If you think your vehicle has one or more of these signs, then you might need to install new rotors! Purchase BRAKE ROTORS for your Acura EL 1997-2005, Acura Integra 1990-2001, Honda Civic 1992-2005, Honda Civic del Sol 1995-1997, Honda Fit 2007-2013, Honda Insight 2010-2014, and install them right at home if you've got the right tools and know-how. Check your vehicle owner's manual before you start. If you're unsure or need help, turn to the professionals at your nearest service center.
Park on a level surface, and check your owner's manual for how to raise or "jack up" your vehicle. Once it's off the ground, take off the wheel, brake caliper, and brake pads, then exchange each old brake rotor with a new BRAKE ROTOR on every wheel. It's normally best practice to replace the rotors on every wheel to avoid uneven wear down the road.
Don't wait for brake noises to replace your rotors. Order a replacement BRAKE ROTOR for your Acura EL 1997-2005, Acura Integra 1990-2001, Honda Civic 1992-2005, Honda Civic del Sol 1995-1997, Honda Fit 2007-2013, Honda Insight 2010-2014.
