Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The braking system on a 2011 Acura ZDX separates duties between front and rear rotors: front rotors handle most of the stopping force because braking weight shifts forward under deceleration, so they tend to wear faster and require more frequent attention. Rear rotors assist with stability and parking brakes; depending on driving style and load they can last substantially longer than fronts. At Nalley Acura in Atlanta, GA, our certified Acura technicians evaluate both front and rear rotors using OEM tolerances and precision tools. We explain differences in wear patterns and why replacing only the worn axle can still be the most economical, safety-first decision. When rotors are resurfaced versus replaced, our advisors clearly show measurements, labor, and parts costs so you can make an informed choice. We also highlight immediate and long-term savings of correctly matched OEM parts and proper installation—helping prevent premature failures, reduced fuel economy, or uneven pad wear.
