Problem overview

Some Lexus GX460 owners report experiencing brake rotor warping, which can lead to shaking during braking. Although the typical replacement interval for brake rotors is recommended at or before 70,000 miles, the actual need for replacement can vary based on driving habits and road conditions. Many owners find that brake rotors should be replaced in pairs, often starting with the front axle, as these tend to wear out more quickly. Additionally, shaking while braking may indicate warped rotors that require replacement or resurfacing. Factors such as hard driving, heat absorption, and cracking can further impact rotor condition. It is crucial for owners to pay attention to any unusual vibrations during braking, as these could signal underlying brake system issues that necessitate maintenance or replacement. Promptly addressing these concerns is essential for ensuring safe driving conditions.
