Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear brake rotors serve the same purpose—convert kinetic energy to heat—but they wear differently. On the 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, front rotors typically absorb more braking load because weight shifts forward during stops; this causes quicker wear and more heat-related issues such as warping and pad glazing. Rear rotors often last longer but can still suffer from corrosion, thinness, or uneven wear, especially when towing or carrying heavy loads. At Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn, our technicians measure rotor thickness, check for runout, and recommend resurfacing versus replacement based on manufacturer specifications and safety standards. We use OEM rotors and balanced installation techniques to prevent vibration and uneven wear.
