Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Understanding the difference between front and rear rotors on a 2012 Hyundai Sonata is essential to maintaining reliable stopping power. Front rotors typically experience higher loads because braking transfers weight forward under deceleration, so they commonly wear faster than rear rotors; this means front rotor replacement is often required sooner. Rear rotors still play a critical role in balance and stability—ignoring rear rotor wear can lead to uneven braking, premature pad wear, and higher repair costs. At Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria in Peoria, AZ, our technicians inspect both front and rear systems during every brake service, measure thickness, check for runout and scoring, and explain whether resurfacing or replacement is the best choice. We use genuine Hyundai parts, provide clear pricing and warranty coverage, and promote long-term savings by addressing issues early. Check our service specials or schedule service online to book a balanced inspection and keep your Sonata stopping smoothly.
