Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve the same function but often experience different loads. On the 2018 Lexus LS 500, front rotors typically wear faster because braking weight shifts forward under deceleration; they also handle more heat and force during hard stops. Rear rotors stabilise and complement front braking but can suffer from uneven wear if rear calipers or hardware are sticking. Common issues include scoring, warping from heat, and thickness loss below manufacturer minimums. Park Place Lexus Grapevine technicians diagnose whether resurfacing will restore smooth engagement or if replacement is needed to ensure safety and comfort. We emphasize OEM parts, detailed inspection reports, and transparent estimates—highlighting how timely service preserves brake life and avoids more costly repairs caused by continued driving on damaged rotors. To act now, schedule service and check our current service specials.
