Front and Rear Brake Rotors

On the 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, front and rear rotors serve different roles and face different stresses. Front rotors handle most of the braking load because weight transfers forward under deceleration; as a result, front rotors typically wear faster and are more prone to heat-related issues such as warping. Rear rotors often wear more slowly but can be affected by heavy cargo, towing up to the Sprinter’s rated 5,000 lb capacity, and parking brake usage. At Park Place Motorcars Arlington in Arlington, TX, our technicians evaluate both axles during every inspection and recommend resurfacing when thickness tolerances allow; replacement is recommended when safety or balance is compromised. We use OEM rotors and balanced installations so your van retains factory braking feel and ABS calibration. Take advantage of available service specials, and schedule service online to keep both front and rear systems performing reliably for miles and miles.
