What does it mean to have rotors turned?
What is Turning your Brake Rotors? When you bring your vehicle in to have their brake rotors turned, it means that a mechanic will be machining your rotors to remove any additional brake material from the brake pads. It’s generally recommended to have this done every other brake change.
How many times can a brake rotor be turned?
I’ve spun rotors in the past and had no problems, but they were still thicker than the minimum spec after doing so. For a car with cheap rotors, I’d just replace them. But if you’ve got some large, expensive cross drilled performance rotors on your car, you can probably turn them at least once and they’ll be just fine.
How much are front brakes on a jeep?
I put on what I believe are NAPA near premium rotors (slotted, $125/pair) and pads ($70 pair, they had some around $30 & 60 also) on my front brakes a couple months ago prior to selling my 01 JGC to my son with the Jeep now @ 85k miles (I bought an 07 JGC @ YE closeout).
When to replace brake pads on a jeep?
The damn rotors are so cheaply made these days. They’re all from China. Pads should be replaced when they’re at 1/4″ thickness. Feel the rotors.
What causes the brake to stick on a Jeep Wrangler?
Its also pretty common that the rubber hose deteriorates on the inside. This allows the fluid to go through one way when you push on the pedal and since there is no pressure pushing back, it gets trapped and won’t release the brake. It slowly releases the pressure and the brake frees up.
How to troubleshot a sticking caliper on a Jeep Wrangler?
How I troubleshot it: Jacked the affected wheel up. Took the tire off. Pumped the brakes until the rotor would not turn. I unscrewed the bleed screw. Rotor turned so it was the hose. If the rotor had not turned it would have been the caliper. Trouble shooting is the key. Don’t just go replacing parts.
