FAQs

Is this brake disc suitable for the front axle?

No, this specific Febi brake disc (171505) is designed for the rear axle only. Front and rear brake discs often have different specifications and designs.

What does 'single vented' mean?

A single vented brake disc has internal passages or vanes that allow air to flow through the rotor. This helps to dissipate heat generated during braking, improving performance and reducing the risk of brake fade.

How do I know if this brake disc will fit my car?

You must verify the part number (171505) and the dimensions (Outer Diameter: 306 mm, Thickness: 28 mm, Bolt Hole Circle: 205 mm, Centering Diameter: 157 mm) against your vehicle's specifications or consult your vehicle's manual or a professional mechanic.

Do I need to buy two of these discs for my car?

Yes, brake discs are typically replaced in pairs per axle (both left and right rear wheels) to ensure balanced braking performance and even wear. This listing is for a single disc.

What is the minimum thickness for this brake disc?

The minimum thickness for the Febi 171505 brake disc is 25 mm. Exceeding this limit requires replacement.

What is the purpose of the coating on this brake disc?

The coating helps to protect the brake disc from corrosion and rust during transport and storage, and can also aid in preventing rust on the non-friction surfaces once installed.

Troubleshooting

Brake judder or vibration during braking.

This could indicate uneven wear, warping, or contamination. Ensure the hub is clean and the disc is properly torqued. Check for other contributing factors like worn suspension components or brake pads.

Squealing or grinding noise from brakes.

May be caused by worn brake pads, lack of lubrication on caliper pins, or debris. Inspect brake pads for wear indicators and ensure proper lubrication of caliper components. If noise persists after pad replacement, the disc surface may need attention.

Brake disc appears rusted or corroded.

Surface rust is normal, especially after washing or exposure to moisture, and should dissipate after a few brake applications. Excessive or deep corrosion may indicate a need for replacement.

Compatibility:

This brake disc is designed for the rear axle and has specific dimensions (306mm OD, 28mm thickness, 205mm BCD, 157mm CD). It is essential to verify that these specifications match your vehicle's original equipment or the manufacturer's recommended replacement parts. Always consult your vehicle's service manual or a qualified mechanic to confirm compatibility before purchasing.

Care:

  • Inspect brake discs regularly for signs of wear, such as deep grooves, scoring, or uneven surfaces.
  • Avoid aggressive braking unless necessary to prolong the life of the disc and pads.
  • Keep the brake components clean from excessive dirt and debris.
  • If the vehicle is stored for extended periods, consider applying a thin layer of protective lubricant to the disc surface (ensure it's removed before driving).
