Overview - Brake Rotor
- Cooling Duct
- Friction Surface
- Base Material
The friction surface on a new brake rotor already has stress cracks which occur during the production process. These stress cracks are all different.
- Stress cracks do not mean the ceramic brake rotor is faulty.
- The stress cracks are somewhat visible and can be different from each other in strength.
-- Check the connection area on the brake rotor ring and brake rotor cup. Refer to CRACKS IN CERAMIC BRAKE ROTOR CONNECTION AREA .
