How long do Honda brake rotors last?

This depends heavily on the type of rotors, your driving style, and the type of vehicle you're driving. Honda rotors need to be replaced every 30,000 - 80,000 miles depending on the factors above. Consult your Honda maintenance manual for more information. Remember, it's always a good idea to have your entire brake system inspected by a franchise dealer with the proper training to spot potential issues before the cause damage to other components of your Honda brake system. Courtesy Palm Harbor Honda offers a variety of brake specials including free diagnostics. Call us at 7272633103 or schedule an appointment online today!

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Honda brake system is comprised of the following key components:

  • Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to activate the parking brakes. When the lever is used or pedal depressed, the cable pulls the calipers or drums to activate the parking brake of your Honda.
  • Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Honda rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
  • Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby extending the life of your brake system.
  • Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Honda brake pedals to function the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
  • Brake Hoses carry brake fluid from the brake line to your Honda brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be inspected ordinarily for cracks and supplemental symptoms of deterioration. Check your Honda maintenance schedule for more information on when your hoses should be replaced.
  • Backing plate & return spring holds your Honda braking system together so it can function perfectly.
  • Rotors also called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are varied types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let Courtesy Palm Harbor Honda find the leading type of brake rotors for your Honda
  • Brake pads or shoes are the components that physically makes contact with your brake rotor and applies pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's extremely exceptional to keep Honda brake pads fresh by replacing them as the undergo quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Honda maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
  • Anti-lock Braking System pump and computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road at all times.

Brake pads consist of two layers: a metal backing plate and a high-friction material that includes rubber, fiber, carbon & other materials. Over time, brake pads wear down and can even start squeaking. This noise is the metal backing plate & the rotor touching, which also acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can also cause damages to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start warping them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate also protects the brake caliper from excessive heat buildup.

Brake calipers cover the rotors and contain pistons. The amount of pistons depends on the type of brake system. Brake fluid from the master cylinder forces these pistons to maneuver the brake pads against the disc. The brake caliper will evenly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Generally, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

Should I replace all 4 rotors?

Consult Courtesy Palm Harbor Honda for more information by dialing 7272633103 and ask for a multipoint inspection of your entire braking system.

Honda Brake Fluid

Where does brake fluid come into the equation? The brake fluid or hydraulic fluid is responsible for moving the components of your Honda brake system. Brake fluid should be changed consistently. Consult your Honda maintenance manual for information on exact mileage intervals.
