Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear brake rotors on a 2011 Lexus ES 350 perform distinct roles and face different stress levels. The front rotors handle the majority of stopping force due to weight transfer under braking, so they typically wear faster than rear rotors; that’s why front rotor service is more common. Rear rotors contribute to balance and stability and may show different wear patterns, especially if the vehicle uses a varied pad compound or parking brake system. At Herb Chambers Lexus of Hingham in Hingham, MA, our certified technicians inspect both axles to determine whether resurfacing or full replacement is necessary, explaining the immediate cost and the long-term value of each option. We use OEM rotors when replacements are needed to preserve braking feel and longevity.
