Should the raised edge of the brake disc be ground down?
1 Answers
Brake disc edges with raised ridges should be ground down. The raised ridge around the edge of the brake disc is caused by wear. If it's not too severe, you can have the brake disc ground down at a repair shop. If the brake pads are severely worn, you'll need to replace the brake disc. Grinding can resolve most issues with brake pads and discs, such as burrs, scratches, or grooves. The purpose of grinding is to improve the fit between the brake pads and the disc, ensuring the proper functioning of the braking system and restoring normal braking performance. A brake disc is essentially a round disc that rotates as the vehicle moves. The brake caliper clamps the disc to generate braking force, slowing down or stopping the vehicle when the brakes are applied.
