Front and Rear Brake Rotors
The front and rear rotors on a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu perform the same fundamental task—convert kinetic energy into heat to slow the vehicle—but they experience different loads. Front rotors typically handle a larger share of braking force due to weight transfer during stops, so they often wear faster and may need resurfacing or replacement sooner. Rear rotors handle less demand but are critical for balanced stopping, parking brake function, and vehicle stability. At Stevinson Chevrolet in Colorado, our technicians inspect both axles for thickness, runout, and heat damage, explain the findings clearly, and outline cost-effective options that preserve long-term performance. We use OEM replacement rotors and calibrated equipment so repairs meet factory tolerances. Ask about our service specials and service financing when you schedule service; we’ll help you choose the right solution and keep your Malibu safe and dependable.
