Your Buick Regal brake rotors are under a great deal of pressure. Each of your Regal brake rotors is flanked by two brake pads, which are designed to clamp down on either side of your Buick Regal brake rotors when you engage your brakes. The friction generated between the braking surfaces of the pads and the Regal brake rotors serves to bring your vehicle to a safe and controlled stop.

In most cases, your brake pads are designed to wear down faster than your Buick Regal brake rotors. This is because the most common brake pads feature "soft" lining that is made with a high-temperature resin and organic fillers.

If your vehicle uses soft brake pads, your Regal brake rotors should enjoy a long life as long as you change your pads when necessary. However, there are also metallic brake pads made from powdered copper or bronze that are not so nice to your brake rotors. If you have metallic brake pads installed, you are likely going to have to replace your Regal brake rotors more frequently. Some of the signs that your brake rotors are worn and need replacing include a loud grinding noise from your brakes, a shaking or shuddering brake pedal, or pulling to one side when you engage your brakes. If your car is experiencing these symptoms, it is time to check your Regal brake rotors for wear. Keep in mind that whenever you replace your brake rotors, you should also replace the pads that work with them.Browse our extensive online catalogue for a full line of Regal brake rotors and brake pads, and order them at the same time through our secure online server or toll-free customer service number.
