Front and Rear Brake Rotors
On the 2017 Chevrolet Sonic, front and rear brake rotors serve similar functions but face different demands. Front rotors handle the majority of braking force because weight shifts forward under deceleration; this typically causes faster wear and higher operating temperatures on front rotors. Rear rotors see less load but still require routine inspection because uneven wear, sticking calipers, or contaminated brake fluid can cause rear damage that affects overall stopping balance. At Stevinson Chevrolet in Colorado we explain these differences and recommend tailored service—resurfacing when safe, or replacement with OEM rotors when necessary—to preserve brake feel and safety. We also highlight promotions and loyalty benefits; check our service specials for seasonal offers.
