A brake rotor is a flat disc attached to the wheel hub that the brake pads grip in order to stop your car. The brake pads will lay a thin film of friction material on the rotors that enables them to grip tighter, giving you a smooth, easy stop. When you change your brake pads, be sure to check your rotors thoroughly.

First make sure they are totally flat, that there are no cracks or signs of excess wear and that the surface is absolutely clean. You can clean the rotor surface with fine-textured sandpaper and follow with a wipe using an approved automotive solvent, followed by a wash with warm water and soap.

This will remove any foreign debris, leaving you with a clean surface on your Lexus ES300 Brake Rotors. If you neglect to turn or change your brake pads regularly, you can score deep ridges in your Lexus ES300 Brake Rotors. Bad driving conditions can also cause your rotors to warp. If your car shudders when you come to a stop, or you hear the sound of metal on metal grinding, you probably need to check your rotors. You can get your ES300 Brake Rotors refinished if you catch the problem in time. Check the manufacturer’s specs to find the minimum allowable rotor thickness for your car. If you neglect the maintenance necessary for your rotors, you can do irreparable damage to your car, which, in the end, will cost many more dollars.
