Technical Specifications

Vehicle Compatibility Overview

The A.B.S 18397 discs are tailored for a range of Hyundai and Kia vehicles. Below is a concise compatibility matrix:

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Secure the vehicle on a lift or jack stands. Remove the wheel and brake assembly to access the rotor.
2. Remove Old Disc: Loosen and remove the caliper bolts, then slide the old disc out of the hub.
3. Inspect Hub: Clean any debris or rust from the mounting surface. Verify that the hub is free of damage.
4. Mount New Disc: Place the A.B.S 18397 disc onto the hub, aligning it with the mounting holes.
5. Tighten Bolts: Secure the disc using the supplied bolts. Tighten in a star pattern to ensure even pressure.
6. Reinstall Caliper: Position the caliper over the new disc and secure it with the original bolts, again tightening in a star sequence.
7. Check Alignment: Verify that the disc is centered and that there are no gaps between the rotor and caliper pads.
8. Reattach Wheel: Place the wheel back on, torque the lug nuts to manufacturer specifications.
9. Test Drive: Perform a short test drive at low speed to confirm proper braking function before normal use.

Performance Benefits

• Consistent Braking: The cast iron alloy provides uniform heat distribution, preventing brake fade during prolonged use.
• Reduced Noise: The protective coating minimizes squeal and chatter commonly associated with older discs.
• Extended Lifespan: High‑quality material resists wear, allowing the discs to maintain performance over many miles.
• Improved Safety: Reliable stopping power enhances overall vehicle safety, especially in emergency braking scenarios.

Maintenance Tips

1. Regular Inspection: Check for cracks, scoring, or uneven wear every 10,000 miles.
2. Brake Pad Compatibility: Use matching brake pads to ensure optimal contact and reduce premature disc wear.
3. Avoid Overheating: When driving in mountainous terrain or heavy traffic, allow brakes to cool between stops.
4. Clean Surface: Keep the disc surface free from oil, grease, and debris using a brake cleaner.
