When to replace brake rotors and brake pads?

When brake rotors become too thin for service or too warped to turn, the best solution is a pair of new rotors. Just like brake pads, brake rotors should be replaced in pairs to provide balanced braking.

Where can I get a disc brake caliper?

Your local NAPA Auto Parts location has the right disc brake rotors for your vehicle. The disc brake caliper is responsible for both holding the brake pads, and holding the pistons that force the disc brake pad against the disc brake rotor during braking. Dirt, debris, and road salt take their toll on braking components.

How are brake pads and brake shoes related?

Brake pads are pressed against the rotor by the brake caliper, and brake shoes are pressed against the brake drum by the wheel cylinder. Their special friction compounds are designed to handle immense forces during every braking situation.

What causes a disc brake to stop working?

Dirt, debris, and road salt take their toll on braking components. Over time disc brake calipers can leak brake fluid or the caliper pistons can freeze-up, greatly reducing overall braking efficiency. A failing brake caliper can even cause erratic handling during braking.
