Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve different loads: front rotors handle most braking force and typically wear faster; rear rotors provide balance and parking brake support. On the 2012 Volvo XC90, front rotor wear is accelerated by heavier braking loads, while rear rotors may corrode if the vehicle sits unused. Herb Chambers Volvo Cars Norwood inspects both axle systems and recommends matched solutions to maintain stopping balance, ABS calibration, and even pad wear. We clearly outline replacement versus resurfacing choices, OEM part benefits, and warranty coverage—repairs under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership.
