At Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley in Greeley, CO, we understand how critical brake rotors are to the safe operation of your 2010 Subaru Forester 2.5X.

We use OEM rotors and follow Subaru service procedures so repairs maintain factory tolerances and safety.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors on a 2010 Subaru Forester 2.5X serve distinct roles. Front rotors usually bear the brunt of braking force and heat because the vehicle's weight shifts forward under braking, so fronts often wear faster. Rear rotors support stability and help with parking brake function. When one axle shows uneven wear, it can cause vibration, pulling, or reduced braking efficiency — problems that, if left unaddressed, lead to costly additional repairs like caliper damage or uneven tire wear. At Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley, we assess both axles and present the most effective solution, explaining the benefits of OEM rotors and proper bedding-in procedures that prolong life.
