Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Understanding front and rear rotor duties helps explain why one set may wear faster. The front rotors on a 2012 Lexus ES 350 absorb most braking energy because weight transfers forward during deceleration; this leads to higher heat and faster wear. Rear rotors typically endure less stress but remain essential for balance and stability. Our technicians evaluate both axles and advise when selective replacement or full-axle service is warranted to avoid vibration, uneven pad wear, and premature component failure. Ignoring a worn front rotor can cause pulsing in the pedal, reduced ABS performance, and higher long-term costs when damage spreads to calipers and pads. Stevinson Lexus of Frederick offers OEM rotors, trained technicians, and service financing to spread payments when needed. Check our service specials and schedule service today to protect braking performance and extend vehicle life.
