Brake Rotors

Keeping the brake system in your Mercedes in good condition is important so that you can remain safe on the road. The brake rotors of your brake assembly are the surface that the brake pad is depressed against to cause the vehicle to slow. They are also known as brake discs. When the brake pedal is depressed, the calipers push the brake pad against the rotors and generate friction. This friction keeps the wheel from turning and eventually brings the car to a stop. There are several symptoms you can be looking out for that might indicate wear and tear on your brake pads. If your brake rotors are bad, you will usually hear a squealing or squeaking sound when you brake. Severely worn rotors will generate a scraping noise. You can inspect the rotors yourself for grooves or warping on the surface. If the rotors are warped, these symptoms might be magnified and you might even notice the car pulling to one side when you brake. It's important to replace your brake rotors with OEM parts that are made for your specific vehicle. Here at Mercedes Benz Star Parts, we have the right OEM rotors here for your car.
