refman1970 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I have a 2005 Corolla that is about ready for a break job and was wondering if the rotors need to be re surfaced. I have had Hondas for years and they suggest that you do not resurface them. Also someone suggested that the rotors should be replaced and thoughts?

And yes, if you're doing pads, it's a good idea to resurface the rotors too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XR2003 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 the car just turned over 67k No need to resurface unless your brake pedal is vibrating when you are decelerating your Corolla. Some would say just buy new brake rotors as they are cheap. Others would say go and resurface. Unless there is that vibrating or pulsating when you press the brakes, then don't worry about the rotors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XR2003 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 check to see if the tires are balanced, if they are then it's time for new brake rotors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
