Noise when braking, a pulsing pedal or pulling to one side can mean worn pads, worn rotors or tired hardware, or a problem elsewhere in the brakes. To find the cause first, look at the rotor faces for deep grooves, cracks or heavy rust, with the car parked and the brakes cool; a shop can measure what you cannot see.

Besides the 2012-2023 Kia Rio, it fits the 2012-2022 Hyundai Accent and the 2013-2015 Dodge Attitude, and each takes one kit.
