Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve distinct roles on your 2026 Toyota RAV4. Front rotors handle a larger share of braking force because weight shifts forward when you decelerate; as a result, front rotors typically wear faster than rear rotors. Rear rotors often work alongside the parking brake and can display different wear patterns. Understanding this distinction helps owners prioritize inspections and maintenance that protect braking performance and vehicle safety. At Stevinson Toyota West in CO, our technicians measure both front and rear rotor thickness to Toyota’s exact specifications, checking for heat spots, runout, and scoring that indicate replacement is necessary. We provide clear, itemized estimates and use OEM parts to maintain factory braking balance. If you qualify for any discounts or loyalty program benefits, we’ll apply them during checkout; be sure to view our current service specials. When you’re ready, schedule service online for a convenient appointment and expert inspection.
