Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Understanding the difference between front and rear brake rotors helps explain why one set may wear sooner. On the 2012 Jeep Patriot, the front rotors handle the majority of braking force and often heat up more rapidly, which can cause faster wear, glazing, or warping compared with the rear rotors. Rear rotors typically experience less stress but can still suffer from uneven wear or corrosion. Our service team at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 104th evaluates both axle assemblies, recommends resurfacing when safe, and replaces with OEM rotors when replacement is the best long-term choice. We pair rotor work with pad inspection and can balance braking performance front-to-rear to prevent future problems.
