Understanding these differences helps our technicians recommend targeted repairs: sometimes only the front rotors need replacement, while uneven wear or lateral runout can require full-axle service. Herb Chambers Chevrolet provides a full inspection, clear explanation of findings, and options like resurfacing when safe and cost-effective or OEM replacement when durability matters most.
