Disc Brake Rotor - 34116898730
Description
The brake rotors on your vehicle serve a very important purpose which is to provide a link between the wheel hub and the brake pads giving them a surface area for friction that allows you to stop your vehicle. Brake rotors are a wear item that require replacement over the course of time. At every pad replacement its recommended to inspect the rotors for glazing, hot spots, warpage, and to make sure its within the minimum thickness specification which is listed on the hat of the rotor. When replacing brake rotors it is imperative to replace them in matched pairs for the best performance and service life of your braking system.
Minimum rotor thickness from BMW is specified at 34.4mm for this rotor.
Commonly referred to as a Brake Disc or a Brake Rotor, these components play a vital role in your braking system. When applying the brake pedal, this produces hydraulic fluid pressure which then transfers the pressure from the pedal through your braking system and into your brake calipers. The caliper pistons then apply pressure against your brake pads squeezing them inward against your brake rotors ultimately causing friction and stopping the vehicle. Brake rotors are a regular maintenance item which requires either servicing by means of machine work, or most commonly replacement when they become too thin, pulsate, glaze, or grind from worn-out brake pads. It's recommended to replace the brake pads and rotors at the same time.
