Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear brake rotors on a 2016 Ram 2500 serve different roles and face different stresses. Front rotors typically handle the majority of stopping force because weight shifts forward under braking; they heat up more quickly and often wear faster than rear rotors. Rear rotors help stabilize the vehicle and support parking brake function. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise in Boise, ID, our technicians assess both front and rear components independently: measuring thickness, checking for taper and runout, and testing for cracking or glazing. Replacing only the worn axle can sometimes be acceptable, but mismatched surfaces can produce vibration and uneven pad wear. We use OEM rotors and precision installation to restore pedal feel and stopping distance, and we document warranty-backed repairs so your coverage remains intact.
