That means they'll need replacing ASAP if they go bad, or else you're risking your safety -- along with that of others on the road. Our online parts store has everything you need for your repair job, in stock and priced well below the MSRP that other sites command.

Buyer's Guide to Volvo Brake Rotors

How Volvo Brake Rotors Work

The rotors are those discs that attach to the wheel hubs. When the master cylinder sends brake fluid to the brake calipers, building pressure forces the calipers to close brake pads at their ends onto the rotors. That action, in turn, results in the friction needed to slow your momentum.

How To Spot Faulty Brake Rotors

Signs of trouble include:

• A bouncing or vibrating brake pedal
• Grinding or squealing noises from your brakes
• Visible evidence of surface damage
• Needing more time or distance to stop

When to Replace Your Volvo Brake Rotors

While your owner's manual details your recommended schedule, a general rule of thumb is to expect to need new rotors after approximately 70,000 miles of service. Obviously you're better off replacing them before you notice the signs detailed above if you want to avoid more expensive repairs, so it's always a good idea to check your rotors' condition on a regular basis.
