Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The 2026 Dodge Hornet typically places more braking demand on the front rotors because weight transfers forward under braking. Front rotors therefore often wear faster and may require earlier resurfacing or replacement than rear rotors. Rear rotors still require inspection for scoring, rust, and thickness loss — especially in climates where road salt is used. Our technicians explain the difference, recommend whether to service just the front axle or both axles for balanced braking, and offer OEM parts to maintain manufacturer performance standards.
