Buick Century Brake Disc

The Brake Disc of Buick Century vehicles is a matching even brake disc assembly, which offers the friction surface, to be exploited by brake pads to break the car. Fitted on the axle or hub, the rotor rotates with the wheel when the calipers squeeze the pads on both sides of the rotor as a result of application of brakes. Vented rotors with cooling fins are better in cooling as compared to solid rotors and few cars have vented rotors at the front and solid rotors at the rear. Casting iron is widely used in most rotors; however, some rotors consist of cast iron friction surface but the center section is of steel material. EB examination of the rotor surface will reveal scr4tching, grooving, and change in thickness which is important in operation safety. Previously, machining rotors was considered quite normal, however, the current thin rotors, should be replaced rather than machined to prevent warpage and more. Special profiles such as drilled or slotted discs can improve the heat removing ability and provide better characteristics, while regular maintenance and timely discs' change will provide smooth and noiseless braking for Buick Century autos.

Each OEM Buick Century Brake Disc we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
