HOW ho i know if my brake rotors are still good?

I'm changing my brake pads today and i need to know what to look for .HOW ho i know if my brake rotors are still good?I would price out new rotors and the cost of having them turned. There may not be that much of a difference. For the most part, just feel the rotor. if it is smooth a flat, it should be fine. Any rough spots or sharp edges, replace it.HOW ho i know if my brake rotors are still good?Check the thickness of the rotor thats your biggest give away, if you notice one rotor is thinner than the other.. Or if you know how thick a normal rotor is, and its worn down change it!

As well as look for a lot of deep scratches, skoring and cracking. If you see any of these, it's beyond no good.

If you felt any shuddering when you hit the brakes, you should also replace them.



You should also replace both at once, not just one side.HOW ho i know if my brake rotors are still good?If the braking surface of the rotor is rusted or the thickness is below spec. than it should be replaced, otherwise if thick enough, it can be resurfaced and use.HOW ho i know if my brake rotors are still good?just look at them see if they are flat and not scraches also feel them with your hand and make sure they are smoth. i would recomend getting them cut at a local auto shop and it will save you in the long run
