Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Understanding the difference between front and rear rotors is vital for safe, cost-effective brake care on a 2026 Dodge Hornet. The front rotors handle most of the braking force because weight shifts forward under deceleration, so fronts typically wear faster and may need resurfacing or replacement sooner. Rear rotors contribute to balance and stability—some vehicles use smaller rear rotors or drum systems, but on the 2026 Dodge Hornet the all-wheel-drive crossover uses coordinated front and rear systems designed to work together. If a front rotor shows warping or deep scoring, driving with it can accelerate wear on pads and lead to uneven braking or vibration. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Albuquerque in Albuquerque, NM, our certified technicians assess both front and rear components together, recommending OEM parts when replacement is best and resurfacing when it preserves safe stopping without unnecessary cost. We highlight transparent pricing, available service specials, and service financing so you can manage repairs today and pay later.
