Is It Okay Not to Replace Brake Discs After 120,000 Kilometers?
1 Answers
It is recommended to replace them, as the best brake discs currently available on the market have a service life of about 120,000 kilometers. If not replaced, it may affect braking performance and potentially cause abnormal noises. Below is relevant information about automotive brake discs: Introduction: Simply put, a brake disc is a round disc. The brake caliper clamps the brake disc to generate braking force. When the brake is applied, the brake disc is clamped to slow down or stop the vehicle. Brake discs offer excellent braking performance and are easier to maintain compared to drum brakes. Structure: Disc brake discs are divided into solid discs (single-piece discs) and vented discs (two-piece discs). Solid discs are straightforward—they are solid. Vented discs, as the name suggests, have ventilation functions. Externally, vented discs have many holes around the circumference leading to the center, known as vents.
