Ensuring a long life for your Chevy Suburban brake rotors is usually a matter of paying attention to the condition of your brake pads. Your Suburban brake rotors are metal discs mounted at each of your wheels, where they work hand in hand with your brake pads to generate friction used to stop your vehicle quickly and safely. Your brake rotors will last longer if you have soft brake pads installed on your vehicle, rather than metallic brake pads.

Though metallic brake pads are more durable than soft pads and provide you with better braking power, they are pretty rough on your Chevy Suburban brake rotors. Most vehicles have soft brake pads installed, which are designed to erode at a faster rate than your Suburban brake rotors and save wear.

However, if you do not change your brake pads when the thickness of the lining is between an eighth and a quarter of an inch, you are likely to damage your brake rotors when they begin grinding against the metal backing plate of the pads. If your brakes are shuddering or pulling to one side, or if you hear a loud, metallic grating sound coming from your brakes, it is likely that you will need to replace your Chevy Suburban brake rotors. Keep in mind that whenever you install new Suburban brake rotors, you will also need new sets of brake pads to ensure that your rotors stay in good shape.
