Genuine Kia Brake Rotors

The disc brake system in your Kia car, SUV, or MPV depend on many parts working together to produce the friction that slows the rotation of your wheels. Your brake rotors -- or discs -- are one of those parts, and so essential they're part of the system's name.

What Brake Rotors Do

The brake rotors are round discs that attach to the wheel hubs. When you press your foot against the brake pedal, a master brake cylinder sends hydraulic fluid to pistons located in the brake calipers. The fluid's building pressure forces the calipers to close down onto your rotors, generating the resistance that slows your vehicle's momentum. Since the calipers and rotors are both made of metal, brake pads attach to the caliper ends to cushion the contact and prevent lasting damage.

How to Spot Brake Rotor Problems
