Front and Rear Brake Rotors
Understanding the difference between front and rear brake rotors on your 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid helps you make the right maintenance decisions. Front rotors handle the majority of braking force and heat, so they typically wear faster than rear rotors; this is why front rotor replacement is more common and often required sooner. Rear rotors still play a critical role in stability and emergency stopping — uneven or neglected rear components can shorten overall braking life and compromise safety. At Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa, our certified Hyundai technicians inspect both axles, measure rotor thickness to factory specifications, and verify pad compatibility to ensure balanced braking. Choosing dealership service provides advantages: OEM rotors and pads, precision machining or replacement when needed, documented work that preserves any warranty, and access to factory diagnostic tools. We recommend scheduling regular inspections and taking advantage of our service specials to manage cost. Ready for a professional inspection?
