A pulsing brake pedal or a shaking steering wheel when braking, deep grooves or scoring, a raised lip at the outer edge, or blue heat spots. Every rotor has a minimum thickness stamped on it; below that it must be replaced.

Yes. New pads should be fitted with new rotors so they bed in together, and rotors and pads are always replaced in pairs on the same axle. On many European cars the pad wear sensor should be replaced as well.

Yes. Follow the pad maker's bedding procedure, usually a series of moderate stops from speed without coming to a full stop, so an even layer of pad material transfers to the rotor. Clean new rotors of any protective coating before fitting if the maker requires it.

Compare the part numbers listed on this page with the number on your old part or in your vehicle's parts catalog, and check the fitment information. If you are unsure, contact us with your VIN before ordering.
