rotor disc

[valskie01]

mga tsikoteers, my 3 months old '06 sentra have already undergone front well bearing replacement 2 weeks ago. ngayon naman yung rotors disc may deep scratches na. According to Nissan UN. kailangan daw e-reface/rephase . i told them na 3 mos palang yung ride ko dapat palitan yung rotor disc. pero di cla pumayag. What do you think guys? shall i insist on replacing my rotor disc since it is under warranty or accept nalang yung refacing. By the way i check sa casa 5taw pala per piece ang rotor disc. TY.

Bakit hindi sila pumayag?

Go to another dealership. Nationwide naman ang warranty ng Nissan.

Kung wala namang effect sa braking force and walang pulsation sa pedal, you can just let it be.

Nasugatan ko kasi yung rotor ng Besta ko dati. Wala namang sipa sa pedal (ibig sabihin hindi siya warped) and malakas pa din naman ang preno kaya pinabayaan ko na lang. Nung nabenta ko hindi na din pinalitan nung nakabili yung rotor.

tangina awayin mo yung mga ganyang dealer! meron ka bang kakilalang lawyer? Kung ako hndi ako papayag, kakabili mo pa lang ng kotse mo tapos if something goes wrong hahanapan ka nila ng butas para hndi sila mapagastos? I prefer na palitan nila, kase kung malalim yung grinds sa surface ng rotor, ibig sabihin babawasan din nila ng malaki yung surface ng rotor mo...

Baka isagad nila ang reface niyan, wala nang matira para sa future. hehehe.

Dapat nga palitan, pa-check mo din ang pads. Kasi yung pads lang naman ang in contact sa rotors. Baka defective yung pads na nakalagay.

actually wala naman effect sa braking force, pero in the future i think lalabas na ang effect. Sabi kasi nung SA kaya pa daw ng reface pero pag di na kaya baka daw palitan. But i doubt it na palitan nila, reface ang gagawin nila.

I'll try other dealer/casa siguro. ty sa advice.

Before replacing or refacing, dapat madetermine muna ang cause kung bakit nagkaron ng scoring sa rotor. Warping is pretty simple. Excess heat or heat plus water can warp a disc. But having a scored rotor is another matter.

brakes are wear items... baka kaya di nila masama sa warranty.

Sakto. They can always claim it was poor driving that caused the problems. Unless you can prove that it wore down due to manufacturing defects or the like.

Pero, try other casas. The fact that your wheel bearings wore out right away means that there's something wrong with your underchassis somewhere, and you can claim that it was this problem that caused irregular wear on your brakes.

I already paid 1,450 for the refacing sa casa(Mantrade). Di talaga sila pumayag sa warranty. Napasokan daw ng mga small stone. Hindi na ako nakipag argue siguro nga kasi one time na idaan ko sa rough road na mabuhagin at medyo baha when we went to Nueva Ecija.

Ah. Driving through floods is a good way to promote uneven wear... Especially if you'd been driving long distance before you get to the flood... hot brakes + water = ouch.

Oh well... just try to feel them out. Sometimes, refaced brakes overheat more easily than new ones (depends on how warped they were), but if they don't feel different after driving through traffic, they should be okay.

Also, ask around... medyo mas mura bumili ng new rotors sa labas kaysa sa casa. Mga 2000 yata ang laro ng presyo nun sa labas.

Hindi ba may stone guards yung mga disc brakes?

[dennis powell]

if the rotor has a scratch,iparesurface mo na lang yan kasi di magtatagal ay magkakaroon ng ingay yan or magseshake yan,and besides,rotor does not include in your warranty,just be sure to get the rotor thickness measurement before and after cut,para maicompare mo sa rotor discard thickness,and also ask them how deep is the scratch and how much thickness do they wanted to cut from the rotor,keep the numbers and compare,,kasi kung magkamali sila ng cut,pwede mo sila di bayaran at possible na puede mo papalitan ng bago,free of charge.

I dont think its possible for small stones or any hard material to get in between the pads and the disc kc sobrang liit ng clearnce para mkapasok tong mga bagay na gant. Anyway observe m n lng if this still happens then meron tlga sumsabit sa knya baka yung calipper

[speedyfix]

we've seen lots of stones make their way between the rotors and the pads in the shop...

halos ganito nga ang price sa labas ng casa. same happen to me, yun nga lang, naka warranty kasi brake pads ko kaya pinapalitan na nila sa akin rotor disk and it cost me 2450.00 ang isang side para ma avail ko warranty ng pads...
