Hey y’all,

I have a 2018 Max SL, replacing the rear rotors the 2018 parts seem different. Mechanic is telling me my car takes 2017 rear rotors. Is this so?

thanks in advance

 

What I would do is go to advanced auto or something similar and tell them you need rear rotors and tell them what year car etc and see what they offer to you.

Ask if your car uses 17 rotors and see how he responds

 

Rockauto shows 09-22 are the same.

 

theyre def not the same. I have a 17 platinum and i bought 18 rear rotors on accident. I think the 18 rotors were smaller infact

 

rear rotors have a "hat" built in for the emergency brakes use

 

This might be an archaic thought or suggestion.....does anybody actually turn rotors anymore? If you can find a shop to do that to your existing rotors, you could reuse rotors you know already fit properly.

 

When I replaced my rear rotors with X-drilled slotted ones I had the old ones turned at O'Reilly Auto, they cost about $20 bucks each.

 

Thanks for the heads up. Getting ready to do a brake job on my youngest sons girlfriends Aveo. Shes on a tight budget. Didnt know O' Reillys turned rotors. We just had a new one open around the corner a few months ago. It seems to be a dying brake option. The price of parts keep rising and maybe itll make a comeback. Nah.....

 

These days it is cheaper to buy new ones than to turn your old ones. Last rotors that were turned for me were on my 02 SE with about 8000 miles on it by the Dealer. a 1000 miles later they replaced them because they warped again. OEM Nissan rotors are not good in my experience.

 

Agree WW2! OEM rotors should last 40 to 50 K if you don't cowboy the brakes approaching stop lights etc. On a good day when the car was new the braking action is just OK but then it is not a European system with huge rotors and Brembo pads.
