Front and Rear Brake Rotors

On a 2018 Hyundai Kona the front rotors usually handle most of the braking load and therefore can wear faster than the rear rotors. Front rotors absorb greater heat and kinetic energy during stops, so signs of glazing, warping, or faster pad wear commonly appear at the front first. Rear rotors still matter for balance and stability; worn rear components can cause pulling, longer stopping distances, and uneven pad life. At Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn we inspect both axles and recommend either resurfacing or replacement based on Hyundai factory specifications. Our process uses OEM parts, calibrated machines, and certified technicians to maintain ABS and brake feel.
