It was never garaged, and the rotors would last a year to 18 months before they were crap. One problem with lower mileage, and a few years old is that the friction surface will rust and glaze over. If the outside thickness was increased, it wouldn't fit in the loaded caliper. The only way they can have more meat is to make the inside cooling area smaller. I will always replace or resurface rotors/drums when putting new pads/shoes on.įinding places to resurface rotors and drums can be a challenge due to the fact that they have made most of them throw away parts. The car spun and I hit the back of the car in front of me with the side of my car. I did just that years ago, on the front, and it resulted in me hitting another car, because the rotors glazed over, and the rear wheels locked. Moral (restated a 2nd time) - get a 2nd opinion from a trusted shop.ĭepending on pad material, and other factors, just slapping new pads on used rotors may not end well. They'd always push the air filter based on miles and I always said "NO" because I would have purchased a new filter a day or a week prior and replaced it myself. I used to go around and around with a shop I trusted for other repairs each time I did a tune-up (plug replacement) back in the 80s before we had hundred-thousand-mile plugs. It's the same reason why most shops will suggest replacing your air filter WITHOUT INSPECTING IT when doing routine maintenance. That would be part of what I refer to as "minimal scoring or wear" in my first reply above. In the 3 to 4 years your 2018 Forester has been on the road, there is a pretty good chance that the brakes have gotten wet and have had some surface rust that could have caused pitting. On 4 - pretty much any/all steel or iron rotors will show some surface rust just because - well, you know, iron and steel and oxidization. Most may also suggest replacement of rotors because -Ģ - they limit their liability if you have a braking issue soon after the work is doneĤ - they're going with a law of averages that there is a possibility of pitting/rust on the rotors No, they do not require replacement with pads (please see my other post) but the dealer service department may recommend it - even without inspection - because that's how some service departments work. Some aftermarket rotors may also be made of different materials and have better (or worse) wear response and show more damage from normal usage. Yes, most current OEM rotors will be thinner than some/most/all after market rotors. Click to expand.The answer is yes and no.
