Infiniti Brake Rotors

The brake rotors are a crucial part of your Infiniti vehicle's disc brake system. They're the nominal discs themselves, and are attached to the wheel hubs. When you press the brake pedal, that causes the master brake cylinder to send brake fluid to the brake calipers. The pressure forces the calipers to clamp onto the rotors, creating the friction that slows the rotation of your wheels. The calipers are covered with brake pads that protect against metal-on-metal contact and the damage that causes.

Types of Brake Pads

There are four:

Blank and smooth rotors: these are most often found in cars. They're good for everyday driving due to their long-lasting, crack-resistant makeup.

Slotted rotors: Found on SUVs and trucks, these have spiral grooves that keep contaminants and dust away.

Drilled rotors: also called cross-drilled rotors, these boast larger surface areas with holes drilled through them. They're more dependable when conditions are wet.

Drilled and slotted rotors: This type is most often reserved for performance cars. They offer the vest features found with slotted and drilled brake rotors.

How to Spot Brake Rotor Problems

Even the best brake rotors can get damaged, warped, or worn down. Signs of this include:

• A bouncing or vibrating brake pedal
• Grinding or squealing noises from the brakes
• Obvious surface damage
