Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear rotors on a 2018 Lexus RX 350L perform different roles. Front rotors typically handle the majority of braking force and therefore wear faster; rear rotors assist with balance, parking brake function, and stability. Front rotors are usually larger and may require replacement sooner, especially if the vehicle spends much time in stop-and-go traffic or tows cargo. At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick, our certified technicians measure thickness, check runout, and evaluate brake hardware to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the most cost-effective, safe choice. We use genuine Lexus parts and calibrated equipment so replacements match factory specifications, which reduces noise, vibration, and premature wear.
