Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors play different roles on a 2017 Kia Forte: front rotors handle a larger share of braking force and heat, so they often wear faster than the rear set. This imbalance is normal, but neglecting worn fronts accelerates overall system wear and can cause steering vibration or reduced stopping distances. At Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington we explain the differences clearly, show wear measurements, and recommend the most cost-effective solution—resurface when thickness permits, replace with OEM rotors when necessary. Our service includes precision machining, new hardware and proper bedding of pads for reliable performance.
