Dropped Brake Disk

[JamesV6CDX]

I have a new set of rear disks for the MV6.

Like an absolute plank, I dropped one, onto a concrete surface, from about waist height, whilst moving them.

Visually looks fine... but... have I weakened it? would you use, or, prefer to get a new one to sleep at night? After all, it's brakes..

Opinions welcome...

Being rears I'd probably stick it on

If it was a front I would be a little more reluctant, but only because I sometimes like to "Use" the brakes

TBH, I doubt it's weakened it but that's just my opinion

Stick it the car  Doubt you've even slightly damaged it from that height.

Agreed. Think you'd need to give it a lot sharper blow than that to cause any damage.

If you ever saw how castings get thrown around in a foundry you probably wouldnt be worrying about it.

The stress you caused the disc when dropping it is nothing when compared to the stress created when you are braking, it will be fine.

hold t up and belt it a few times on outside with rubber mallet, to ensure no fractures.

Tap them both lightly with a hammer, if the tapping produces a different tone between the two discs then the one you've dropped is cracked!

I think it's unlikely though!

Put it on brake rotor will be fine

Good idea. Not cracked will probably ring like a bell, cracked will be a dull thud.Used to test hard iron grinding plates with that method many years ago and it never failed. Rendered the relatively expensive crack testing kit redundant.

Of course, if it shatters when you tap it, you might want to buy another one
