Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The braking system on a 2018 Ram Promaster Cargo Van is designed with specific front and rear responsibilities: the front rotors handle the majority of braking force and heat because weight shifts forward under deceleration, while the rear rotors assist with balance and stability. As a result, front rotors often wear faster and may show signs of warping or thinning sooner than rear rotors, especially in vehicles used for heavy cargo runs or towing. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise in Boise, ID, our factory-trained technicians measure runout, check rotor thickness, and inspect pads and calipers to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the safest and most cost-effective option. We use OEM-quality rotors and components to maintain braking performance and vehicle longevity, and we clearly explain the immediate and long-term savings of correct repairs: properly installed rotors reduce vibration, improve stopping distance, protect calipers and ABS sensors, and lower the chance of repeat labor costs.
