Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear brake rotors on a 2018 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid serve different roles and experience different wear. Front rotors handle most of the braking force because weight shifts forward under deceleration; they typically wear faster and may require replacement sooner than rear rotors. Rear rotors often work with the parking brake and regenerative systems on hybrids, so their wear pattern differs. At Herb Chambers Hyundai of Auburn in Auburn, MA, our technicians assess front and rear rotors separately, measuring thickness, checking for runout, and inspecting for scoring or heat damage. We explain whether resurfacing will restore safe, smooth operation or whether full replacement with OEM rotors is the better long-term choice.
