DF1721 TRW Brake Disc

These are what your brake pads clamp down on to actually slow and stop the car. Think of it like this – the pads are doing the squeezing, but the disc is what provides the surface to do the squeezing against. They’re basically a steel disc that spins with the wheel, and when you hit the brakes, the pads grab onto it, creating friction. That friction is what turns your speed into heat and brings you to a stop. They need to be smooth and flat for the pads to grip properly. These are a core part of your braking system, obviously. They’re directly connected to your wheels, so they spin every time the car moves. They’re constantly being subjected to a lot of heat and pressure. Everything in the braking system works together, but the disc is really where the stopping power gets translated from your foot pressing the pedal into actual deceleration. They’re a pretty visible part of the system too, easy to see right behind your wheels. Well, safety first, right? If these get worn down, scored, or warped, your stopping distance increases significantly. You’ll notice if they’re badly warped – you’ll feel a pulsation in the brake pedal when you stop, or maybe the car will pull to one side. Even if it’s just general wear, it takes longer to stop, and that can be dangerous. Thin discs don't dissipate heat as well, and that can cause the brakes to fade, meaning you lose stopping power. We have a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, different brands and price points, depending on what you need. Replacing them as part of a brake job is crucial for keeping you and everyone else on the road safe. Built to last: Brake Disc (MPN DF1721) includes a 12-month warranty!
