brake rotors
Wheel friction surfaces
Brake rotors are the metal discs in a disc brake system that rotate with the wheel.
When you press the brake pedal, brake pads clamp against the rotors, creating friction that slows the vehicle.
Rotors can warp from heat or wear thin over time: The mechanic said my brake rotors need replacing.
Also called brake discs.
