Does the brake disc have grooves that need to be replaced


Release time:

The brake disc will usually need to be replaced if there is a significant recess in the surface. This is because grooves affect the flatness and friction of the brake disc, which can affect brake performance and safety.

Brake disc grooves are usually caused by prolonged use and wear of friction. When there is an obvious groove on the surface of the brake disc, it will cause the brake pad to not fit the brake disc tightly, which will affect the brake friction and braking effect. At the same time, the grooves can also cause the surface of the brake disc to be uneven, further affecting the performance and stability of the brakes.

Some may say that the brake disc can be polished, but it is not recommended because polishing may negatively affect the performance of the brake disc. Grooves and wear on the surface of the brake disc will reduce the coefficient of friction of the brake disc. If the surface of the brake disc is polished by polishing, the coefficient of friction of the brake disc may be reduced, and the thickness of the brake disc may be reduced. Thus reducing braking effect and safety.

In addition, polishing may cause the brake disc to become uneven, resulting in the brake pad can not fit the surface of the brake disc, affecting the friction and performance of the brake.

Therefore, if the brake disc surface appears obvious grooves and wear, it is recommended to replace the brake disc with a new one to ensure the safety and braking performance of the vehicle.
