How much do new rotors cost?

It depends on whether you need your Hyundai rotors replaced or simply resurfaced. At Larry H. Miller Southwest Hyundai Albuquerque we'll have one of our Hyundai technicians examine your vehicle to give you a recommendation and estimate. As stated prior, since we are able to order parts directly from Hyundai we can save you time and money replacing your rotors.

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Hyundai brake system is comprised of the following key components:

  • Backing plate & return spring holds your Hyundai braking system together so it can function perfectly.
  • Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road continuously.
  • Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Hyundai rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
  • Brake pads or shoes are the parts that physically make contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's remarkably vital to keep Hyundai brake pads fresh by replacing them as they experience quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Hyundai maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
  • Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Hyundai brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
  • Rotors also called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are several types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let find the best type of brake rotors for your Hyundai
  • Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to activate the parking brakes. When the lever is used or pedal depressed, the cable pulls the calipers or drums to initiate the parking brake of your Hyundai.
  • Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby extending the life of your brake system.
  • Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Hyundai brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined regularly for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Hyundai maintenance schedule for more facts on when your hoses should be replaced.

Brake pads consist of two layers: a metal backing plate and a high-friction material that includes rubber, fiber, carbon & other materials. Over time, brake pads wear down and can even start squeaking. This noise is the metal backing plate & the rotor touching, which also acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can also cause damage to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start distorting them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate also protects the brake caliper from disproportionate heat buildup.

Brake calipers cover the rotors and contain pistons. The amount of pistons depends on the type of brake system. Brake fluid from the master cylinder forces these pistons to maneuver the brake pads against the disc. The brake caliper will uniformly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Mainly, the more pistons in a caliper, the more uniformly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

How long do Hyundai brake rotors last?

This depends massively on the type of rotors, your driving style, and the type of vehicle you're driving. Hyundai rotors need to be replaced every 30,000 - 80,000 miles depending on the factors above. Confer with your Hyundai maintenance manual for more details. Remember, it's regularly a good idea to have your complete brake system examined by a franchise dealer with the proper training to spot potential issues before they cause damage to other components of your Hyundai brake system.

Can I just replace brake pads and not rotors?

Yes, your Hyundai rotors will often last longer than your brake pads as long as you replace your pads before doing damage to your calipers or rotors. By not replacing your brake Hyundai pads in a regular manner you can damage the other components.
