Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve similar roles but experience different loads: front rotors typically absorb more braking force and heat, especially during heavy braking or towing, so they often wear faster than rear rotors on a 2012 Ford F-450 Super Duty. Rear rotors assist with stability and parking functions and may show different wear patterns. Our certified technicians at Larry H. Miller Super Ford Salt Lake City assess both axles, recommend resurfacing when feasible, or replacement when thickness or damage exceeds safe limits. We honor manufacturer tolerances, install OEM components, and explain the benefits of matched front-and-rear service for even wear and optimal stopping power.
