Tips to Help You Keep Your Nissan Altima Brake Disc Working Excellently
If you want your car to stay safe on the road, then keeping your Nissan Altima brake disc well-maintained is a job you shouldn't neglect to do. Together with the brake pad, this gives you the capability to stop or decelerate your vehicle whenever you want to. Check out some of the following things you can do to ensure that your brake disc will last without problems:
- Keep yourself aware of its condition through routine inspection.
Routinely inspecting your brake disc may sound too tedious, but it's undoubtedly the best way to make sure that it's working perfectly fine for your safety. There's really no definite schedule of when you should do this, but it's highly recommended for you to inspect your brake disc at the same time that you'll service the other components of your brake system. Brake inspection is usually done every 10,000 miles.
It's a good idea to measure the thickness of your brake disc every time you inspect it. If it's too thin, it may result to numerous problems that'll surely affect the braking performance of your truck. Don't forget to check its surface for uneven wear markings and discoloration. Tend to damage straightaway, especially if it only requires a bit of resurfacing.
- Clean it regularly to avoid dirt build-up.
Your Nissan Altima brake disc gets dirty too. When you leave it in a filthy condition, expect rust and uneven grooves to form on its surface after some time. This is why it's important that you clean your brake disc regularly. You don't have to break a sweat just to perform this task. All you have to do is to lift up your car, remove your wheels, and spray some high-quality brake cleaner on your brake disc.
- Maintain other parts of the brake system too.
If you want to get optimum braking performance out of your car, then it's not enough to maintain just the brake disc. Keep in mind that aside from the disc, there are also other components that make up your car's entire brake system. All of these components are vital and when one of it gets damaged, expect the other parts to follow suit. Inspect your whole brake system on a regular basis and tend to damage if you find any. You should also pay special attention to the condition of your brake pads.
Summary:
- A disc brake uses a rotor and caliper to decelerate wheel speed.
- It has brake pads attached to each side of the caliper that generate friction against the brake disc (or rotor) as the brake pedal is depressed.
- Common indicators of a worn out brake disc include chattering noises; reduced stopping ability; and visible imperfections, such as cracks, hard spots, and heat discoloration.
- A brake disc for a Nissan Altima can cost anywhere between $20 and $171. It is usually sold individually or in pairs.
When it comes to midsize cars, the Nissan Altima doesn’t fall behind its other rivals, such as the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Mazda 6, Ford Fusion, and Subaru Legacy. It boasts superb fuel economy and an easy-to-drive nature, making it a top contender under the commercial car segment.
To ensure your Nissan Altima maintains all its best features, it’s important to regularly check for any worn or damaged component that may affect its drivability. One part that you should keep an eye out for is the brake disc. If it’s broken, it could cause braking problems and result in accidents or costly repairs.
What Are Disc Brakes?
A disc brake uses a rotor and caliper to decelerate wheel speed. It has brake pads attached to each side of the caliper that generate friction against the brake disc (or rotor) as the brake pedal is depressed.
Most modern vehicles have front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. In some cases, disc brakes are attached to all four wheels.
Types of Disc Brakes
Disc brakes can either be floating or fixed, depending on the type of caliper they use.
Floating Caliper
A floating or sliding caliper is the most common type of brake caliper. It has pistons attached to one side of the disc that push the caliper closer to the rotor.
Fixed Caliper
This type has one or more pistons attached to each side of the rotor. It is also more rigid and stiffer than the floating caliper.
Symptoms of a Bad Brake Disc
A new brake disc has a smooth finish that allows optimal braking performance. Over time, however, its surface could get rough, affecting your vehicle’s braking ability.
Here are the signs of a worn out brake disc you should look out for:
- Chattering noises
- Reduced stopping ability
- Cracks, hard spots, or heat discoloration
Drum Brakes vs. Disc Brakes
Although disc and drum brakes serve the similar purpose of slowing down wheel speed, they work a bit differently from each other.
Disc brakes work by making a piston force the caliper to squeeze the brake pads against the rotor when you step on the brake pedal. Meanwhile, drum brakes have brake shoes that press against the inside of a spinning drum to create enough friction to slow down the vehicle.
How Much Will a Nissan Altima Brake Disc cost?
A brake disc for a Nissan Altima can cost anywhere between $20 and $171. It is usually sold individually or in pairs.
Finding the Right Fit
Need a new brake disc for your Nissan Altima? CarParts.com has exactly what you need. Simply enter your Nissan’s details into our website’s vehicle selector to narrow down the results to compatible brake discs for your ride.
Your Nissan Altima brake disc is crucial to your car's braking performance. You have to make sure that it's working properly in order to keep you and others away from fatal accidents. Read on to find out the most common symptoms you need to look out for with a damaged brake disc:
Discoloration
Did you know that your brake disc can change colors? Yes, you read that right. Your Nissan Altima brake disc can actually turn blue. However, this isn't a change that you should welcome because discoloration means that there's something wrong with it. This problem is a result of the excessive amounts of heat that's generated by needlessly applying the brakes. When conducting your routine brake inspection, take a good look at the disc to see if it has been discolored. In case you find yourself with a bluish brake disc, take your car to a mechanic to figure out the best brake disc replacement for your vehicle. You probably need one that has drilled or slotted holes for better thermal management.
Screeching noise
Excessive grinding or screeching noises that are coming from a vehicle's brake assembly is a warning sign that shouldn't be ignored. If you hear this from your car, inspect its brakes right away. There are a lot of possible reasons why this may occur, including corrosion and worn-out pad linings. However, if you've checked that your brake pads are in good condition and no corrosion is present in the entire assembly, then the next thing you should look at is the brake disc. Check its surface for signs of uneven grooves or ridges. You should also measure its thickness using a micrometer. If you see that it's really unevenly worn-out, you can get it resurfaced. Just make sure that its thickness is still within the manufacturer-recommended dimension.
Vibrating brake pedal
A vibrating or pulsating brake pedal is another common issue that's associated with a brake disc that's going bad. This usually happens when the disc has become unevenly worn-out due to accumulated dirt and rust. Hard spots and improperly tightened mounting hardware are also other reasons why a brake disc may form uneven grooves. Brake pedal vibrations aren't hard to miss because they can be quite disturbing. If you experience this from your vehicle, check the brake disc and have it replaced or resurfaced as necessary.
If only one the brake discs of the Nissan Altima is damaged, is it advisable to replace just the damaged disc?
No. Experts recommend that brake disc replacements in Nissan Altima models must be done in pairs. It is best to change the two front brake discs at same time or the two rear rotors. Doing this will prevent uneven rotor deterioration and brake pull that may result to life-threatening accidents.
What can be done to keep the Nissan Altima brake disc rust-free?
Rust is the number one enemy of the Nissan Altima's brake discs. Since the brake discs are exposed to different road conditions, moisture build up inside the brake system is expected. With the absence of sunlight to eradicate moisture, rust infestation occurs. Making the discs rust-proof is fairly impossible. But something can be done to slow down rust accumulation. Regular maintenance using a brake cleaner, oil-based and aerosol-based lubricants, some cleaning rags, and a sturdy wire brush or steel wool will do the trick.
What could happen if the required minimum brake disc thickness for Nissan Altima models is not met?
Most Nissan Altima brake disc replacements that are sold online are stamped with the required minimum thickness of the brake disc or the rotor. Brake discs should be thicker than the manufacturer's specified measurement to provide enough room for adjustments until the ideal braking surface is achieved. If the thickness of Nissan Altima brake disc replacements is not within the prescribed range, heat dissipation will be inaccurate. When this happens, rotor warping will occur.
Which is the better design for replacement Nissan Altima brake discs, cross-drilled, slotted, or solid/blank?
le by the holes on the surface of the disc. However, these same holes made this type of design weak and prone to cracks. Slotted discs, on one hand, are said to wipe through the pads. But in reality, it speeds up brake pad wear. Solid or blank brake discs don't really have concrete downsides unlike the first two types because they are said to be compact and sturdy. Also, the absence of holes and slots prevents and minimizes the build up of road debris.They are perceived to be prone to warping but this claim is actually a misconception.
