The Most Trusted Mobile Rear Brake Discs and Pads Replacement

Rear discs often corrode rather than wear, especially on cars that do short trips or stand for long periods. A rusty, pitted rear disc gives poor braking and eats pads quickly. Michanic replaces rear discs and pads together, at your home or office.

Why Choose Our Mobile Rear Brake Discs and Pads Replacement Services?

Rear discs are easy to ignore because they are out of sight, and a corroded rear disc does not always make a noise. It does lengthen stopping distances and unbalance the car under hard braking, which matters most in an emergency stop.

Why We’re the Best Choice for Mobile Rear Brake Discs and Pads Replacement

Where the parking brake works inside the rear disc, the shoes and mechanism are inspected while the disc is off, because they are only accessible at that point, and a seized parking brake is a common reason a rear disc wore out early.

Rear discs usually corrode rather than wear, which is why they are so often missed. A pitted disc gives poor braking and eats through pads quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why do rear brake discs rust so badly?
    Rear brakes do less work, so the discs run cooler and the pads sweep less material off the surface. On cars that do short trips or stand for long periods, surface rust is never cleaned off by braking and turns into pitting that ruins the disc.
  • Can rear discs wear out before the pads?
    Yes, and it is common. Corrosion rather than friction is usually what finishes a rear disc, so you can find a pitted, lipped rear disc with plenty of pad material still left on the shoes or pads.
  • What is the parking brake mechanism inside a rear disc?
    Many cars with rear disc brakes have a small drum brake built into the centre of the disc, with its own shoes, operated by the handbrake. It is only accessible with the disc removed, which is why it is inspected during a rear disc replacement.
  • Does replacing rear discs affect the handbrake?
    It can. If the parking brake shoes inside the disc are worn or the mechanism has seized, the handbrake will not hold properly on new discs either. The mechanism is checked and adjusted while the disc is off.
  • Is it worth replacing rear discs if only one is corroded?
    Discs are replaced as an axle pair even when only one looks bad. Different disc conditions on the same axle give uneven braking, and the second disc is usually not far behind the first.
