Front and Rear Brake Rotors
The front and rear brake rotors on a 2012 Toyota Highlander serve the same fundamental purposeāconvert brake-pad friction into stopping forceābut they operate under different loads and wear at different rates. Front rotors typically handle a larger share of braking energy because weight shifts forward during deceleration; that makes them thicker, larger, and more prone to heat-related wear. Rear rotors often last longer but can suffer from corrosion or uneven wear if pads or calipers arenāt maintained. At Larry H. Miller Toyota Murray in Murray, UT, our technicians perform a complete axle-by-axle inspection and measure rotor thickness, runout, and surface condition. We explain whether resurfacing is a safe, cost-effective option or whether replacement with OEM rotors is required.
