What Are the Brake Rotors?

To answer this question, let's take a look at how the disc braking system works. When you step on the brake pedal, the brake fluid causes the calipers to squeeze together. The brake pads are attached to these calipers; when the calipers close, the brake pads push against discs to bring your Chevy to a stop. These discs are also called rotors. The rotors are made from metal, whereas the lining of the brake pad -- the part that comes into contact with the discs -- is made of a softer, friction-resistant material. This means that the brake pads wear down faster. However, brake rotors still don't last forever; they get thinner and wear down, and they may become warped or glazed.

Can My Rotors Be Resurfaced or Do They Need To Be Replaced?

When we're deciding whether to resurface or replace brake rotors, we use thickness to judge how we move forward. If your brake rotors are thick enough, then warping and glazing may be able to be dealt with simply by resurfacing the brake rotors. But if they are getting thin, we will need to replace them.
