Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear rotors on a 2016 Lexus GX 460 serve different roles and therefore age differently. Front rotors typically handle a larger share of braking force, especially during highway stops and towing, so they often show wear sooner. Rear rotors contribute to stability and parking brake function; they can last longer in normal driving but will degrade faster if you tow frequently or drive in mountainous areas. Herb Chambers Lexus of Sharon in Sharon, MA evaluates both ends of the system with OEM specifications, measuring thickness, run-out, and surface condition. When front rotors are warped you may feel pedal pulsation; when rear rotors fail, stopping balance and parking performance suffer. Our certified technicians recommend precise, efficient repairs—resurfacing when thickness allows, or OEM replacement when necessary—backed by warranty. We encourage drivers to take advantage of our service specials and to schedule service online to keep both front and rear braking systems in top condition and avoid larger costs down the road.
