Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The 2026 Hyundai Sonata uses front and rear rotors with distinct roles: front rotors handle the majority of braking force and heat, so they commonly wear faster than rear rotors. Front rotors are often larger and paired with higher-capacity calipers because weight transfer during braking increases front axle load. Rear rotors still play a vital role in balance and stability—especially in emergency stops and anti-lock brake function. At Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa, our technicians inspect both axles, measure thickness and runout, and recommend either resurfacing or replacement based on OEM specifications. We use genuine Hyundai parts and calibrated machining tools to ensure braking smoothness and longevity. Whether you need front-only work, rear-only service, or a full-axle replacement, we explain costs and long-term savings, and we honor warranties for repairs performed at our certified facility.
