Among the most important maintenance items for any vehicle are the brakes, and the Mitsubishi Montero brakes are no exception. The rugged Montero has proven its durability time and time again at the Paris-Dakar rally, where it is regularly among the most successful vehicles. These drivers know that keeping the brakes in proper operating condition is integral to their success.

Your average driver must keep the brakes in good condition as well. Mitsubishi Montero brake rotors wear down over time.

Normal driving will cause grooves and pitting to eventually develop in the disks. Off road driving will accelerate this process. The disks can be ground down at a machine shop several times when the brake pads are replaced, but eventually, they become too this to be effective. Brake rotors must maintain a certain minimum thickness to shed heat effectively. Hot brakes are ineffective brakes. The minimum thickness is stamped on the disk and is also printed in the cars manual. When the Mitsubishi Montero brake rotors reach the end of their effective life, they should be replaced along with the brake pads. Always replace brake pads when you replace brake disks. You should avoid replacing a single brake disk, and always replace both sides on an axle. This will keep your brakes operating in conjunction with each other, and you should not experience any pulling to one side or the other.Properly vented Mitsubishi Montero brake rotors are available from our online ordering system, as well as a variety of other brake maintenance parts, such as pads.
