Mounted at each of your wheels you will find your Buick Park Avenue brake rotors. Your Park Avenue brake rotors are metal discs that have a few important jobs in your braking system. The Buick Park Avenue brake rotors spin along with your wheels as you drive, in the U-shaped channel of your brake calipers.

Each side of your calipers has a brake pad floating on top. When your brakes are engaged, the brake calipers act as clamps to bring the pads into contact with your Park Avenue brake rotors.

Friction is generated between the pads and the Buick Park Avenue brake rotors to stop the motion of your wheels. Your Park Avenue brake rotors also perform other functions. The rotating motion of the brake rotors serves to cool both braking surfaces, since the friction between them generates heat that can cause brake fade. Also, the Park Avenue brake rotors throw off water and dirt to keep your brakes clean. You may develop problems with your brake rotors if the lining of your brake pads becomes worn beyond a certain depth. Once your brake pads are between an eighth and a quarter of an inch, you should replace them right away, before your Park Avenue brake rotors begin to grind on the metal backing plate beneath the lining. If your brake are grinding, shaking, or pulling to one side, this often indicates a need for new brake rotors.Order your Park Avenue brake rotors from our extensive online catalogue, and you will save money and time through our discount pricing and fast, reliable shipping.
