What you need to know:
- Brake discs must optimally interact with brake pads and other suspension components, so that their functionality may be assured at all speeds, driving circumstances situations and weather conditions.
- During braking, kinetic energy is produced, which converts into heat. Ninety percent of this heat is absorbed by the brake disc, from which it dissipates into the ambient air.
- Genuine brake discs are mostly made from perlitic cast iron with flow-optimized air ducts for maximum cooling and an offset axle mount.
- Indications that brake discs are due for replacement include grooves, scoring or cracks in the disc surface, a vibrating brake pedal and continuous grating or squealing noises when braking.
- Worn-out brake discs dramatically increase the risk of accidents and compromise safety, since they result in longer braking distances and can even cause total brake failure.
- The braking system should be checked during every tire change.
Opt for the Genuine Part because:
- Model and axle-specific design ensures that they provide optimum braking performance and safety.
- They exhibit minimal thermal deformation (temperature-resistance up to 1200°C / 2192°F) and cracking during emergency (hard) braking.
- They have a proven long service life and afford extremely high resistance to contaminants and corrosion.
- By eliminating braking noise and brake pedal vibration and ensuring quiet running they contribute to optimum driving comfort.
- Available as solid or internally ventilated brake discs.
