Hyundai Repair: Brakes, wheel hubs, rear brakes


Question
I have drum rear brakes in my Tucson 06, can I change and put disc brake? Does Elantra disc brakes fit ok?

Answer
The Elantra uses a different disc brake system, so you won't be able to use those parts.

The answer is yes, you can switch to disc brakes, but it won't be cost efficient.  To do the job, you'll need to install new parking brake cables, backing plates, parking brake shoes, parking brake hardware, rotors, calipers, brake lines, and proportioning valves.  It's also possible you'll need to replace the master cylinder and wheel hubs.
