Front break replacement

I’m about to hit 70k miles on my tundra. Finally have replace the front breaks. My question should I replace the rotors or should they have more life in them until next break change?

 

Tough call without seeing the surface. If they are relatively smooth and the thickness is within spec than I personally wouldn't bother with the rotors.

 

Unless you are heavy towing or stop-and-go driving they are likely still good at 70K.

 

Yep unless they warped it’s hard to beat the factory rotors

 

I plan on doing both new pads and rotors. Tiny bit of shimmy now and then when braking.

 

I did all 4 at 46,000 and the rears were literally new. Still had a shine in the backing plate of the pad.

the fronts were a bit dirty but were barely worn. The pad thickness was maybe a tad more than a sheet of paper off from a new pad.

The replacement pads stopped better than the original ones for some reason.

 

Measure the thickness of it. If it’s within spec and still working fine, maybe just change pads. Living in the North East, my original rotors had flaking rust so I ended up replacing all my rotors.

But if you want piece of mind, the rotors are inexpensive and probably just better to pickup brand new sets for the fronts.
