Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers
The Hyundai Sonata brake system is comprised of the following key components:
- 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 Sonata rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
- Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to trigger 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 Sonata.
- Backing plate & return spring holds your Hyundai Sonata braking system together so it can function accurately.
- Heat Shield or dust shield helps impede grime buildup thereby lengthening the life of your brake system.
- Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Hyundai Sonata 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 Sonata maintenance schedule for more details on when your hoses should be replaced.
- Rotors again called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are different 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 Sonata
- Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Hyundai Sonata brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
- 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 exceptionally vital to keep Hyundai Sonata brake pads fresh by replacing them as they experience quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Hyundai Sonata maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
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 still acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can still 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 still 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. Generally, the more pistons in a caliper, the more uniformly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.
Can I just replace brake pads and not rotors?
Yes, your Hyundai Sonata rotors will frequently 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 Sonata pads in a routine manner you can damage the other components.
How much does a brake job cost?
Resurfacing rotors is much cheaper than replacing them. Ask us about the chance of simply resurfacing your Hyundai Sonata rotors rather than replacing them.

Some rear brakes can last up to 50,0000 - 80,000 miles, but you should ask your Hyundai Sonata service manual for advised maintenance intervals for all parts. Keep in mind you should constantly have your service department perform a multipoint inspection which includes inspecting your brake system.
