Hyundai Genesis 2009-2014 Brakes Specifications

These brakes are specifically designed to be compatible with all 2009-2014 Hyundai Genesis models, including both sedan and coupe versions. They meet OEM specifications for rotor size, caliper fitment, and pad dimensions. Ensure you select the correct variant for your specific trim level (e.g., 3.8L V6 or 4.6L V8), as braking systems may vary slightly between engine configurations.

For optimal performance, inspect brake pads and rotors every 12,000 miles or annually. Replace brake pads when worn down to 3mm or less. Rotors should be checked for thickness and surface wear, replacing if below the minimum specification. Brake fluid should be flushed every 30,000 miles or as specified in your vehicle’s manual. Regular cleaning of brake components is also advised to prevent debris buildup.

To replace the brakes, lift the vehicle and remove the wheels. Unbolt the caliper and hang it securely to avoid damaging the brake line. Remove the old brake pads and inspect the rotor. If replacing the rotor, unbolt it from the hub. Install the new rotor and brake pads, ensuring proper alignment. Reattach the caliper and tighten all bolts to the manufacturer’s torque specifications. Test the brakes before driving.

Squeaking may indicate worn brake pads or contamination on the rotor surface. Inspect and replace pads if necessary. Vibrations often result from warped rotors, which should be resurfaced or replaced. Ensure all components are properly torqued and aligned. If issues persist, check the brake calipers for sticking or uneven wear, and inspect the brake fluid for contamination.

Use high-quality brake pads and rotors designed for your specific model. Bed-in new brakes by performing a series of controlled stops to transfer pad material evenly onto the rotor. Avoid excessive braking to prevent overheating. Regularly clean brake components to remove dust and debris. Upgrade to performance brake fluid for improved heat resistance and pedal feel.
