Front and Rear Brake Rotors

On a 2011 Acura RDX, front and rear rotors play distinct roles: the front rotors handle the majority of braking force, while rear rotors assist with balance and parking brake function. Because the front axle typically bears more weight transfer during stops, front rotors will frequently wear faster. Nalley Acura in Atlanta, GA, inspects both axles to identify uneven wear, scoring, or thickness loss and explains whether resurfacing or full replacement is the better value. We use OEM replacement rotors and factory torque specs to prevent premature wear and ensure ABS and traction control systems function correctly. Our service team highlights available promotions and service specials that reduce upfront cost and outline long-term savings from proper repair—such as improved fuel efficiency from smoother braking and avoided caliper damage.
