Where does brake fluid come into the equation? The brake fluid or hydraulic fluid is responsible for moving the components of your Kia brake system. Brake fluid should be changed consistently. Consult your Kia maintenance manual for information on strong mileage intervals. Fresh brake fluid is something few people think about, even though it can dramatically affect braking performance.You can even schedule your appointment online. For any brake related questions or concerns, reach out to our Kia experts at Courtesy Kia of Brandon.

How often do brake rotors need to be replaced?

Typically you will need to replace rotors in pairs starting with the front axle of your Kia as they tend to wear out quicker. Kia rotors should be replaced by 70,000 miles but may wear out faster depending on your driving habits and a host of different factors. Schedule an appointment online with Courtesy Kia of Brandon to get a free multipoint inspection on your entire brake system.

How much do new brake pads cost?

Kia brake pads can cost anywhere between $150 per axle and $450 per axle depending on the type of brake pad desired. In some rare cases, they can be even more if the manufacturer requires a specific type of brake pad to be ordered for your Kia.

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

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

• Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Kia brake pedals to function the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
• Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Kia rotors to slow or stop your car.
• Brake pads or shoes are the components that physically makes contact with your brake rotor and applies pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's extremely extensive to keep Kia brake pads hearty by replacing them as the undergo quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Kia maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
• 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 Courtesy Kia of Brandon find the best type of brake rotors for your Kia
• Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby extending the life of your brake system.
• 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 activate the parking brake of your Kia.
• Backing plate & return spring holds your Kia braking system together so it can function perfectly.
• Anti-lock Braking System pump and computer allows your car to keep traction on the road at all times.
• Brake Hoses carry brake fluid from the brake line to your Kia brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be inspected consistently for cracks and alternative symptoms of deterioration. Check your Kia maintenance schedule for more information 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 damages to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start warping them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate also protects the brake caliper from excessive 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 evenly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Generally, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

Kia Front Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement

Wear and tear on your brakes depends greatly on your driving habits and the type of brake pads your Kia has, but usually front brakes wear out before rear breaks at 30,000 - 60,000 miles because they are typically under much less stress.

What are the signs and symptoms of bad Kia brake rotors or pads?

Just like there are common brake issues, there are very noticeable signs that can indicate the cause of a brake problem. Warning signs include a shaky steering wheel, trouble stopping or a loud metal scraping sound are all indicators that you need to check your Kia brakes. However, there are many other, and less obvious, indicators that your Kia brakes may be showing which you don’t want to ignore.
