Chevrolet Malibu Disc Brake Rotor and Hub Assembly Kit in US

On Chevrolet Malibu vehicles where the brake rotor and wheel hub share a single integrated casting, a rotor and hub assembly kit is the most complete way to restore full brake corner performance on your Malibu. When a seized caliper damages the Malibu rotor surface, or when hub bearing noise develops alongside worn rotors on your Chevrolet Malibu, all friction and hub components require replacement simultaneously.

Why the Chevrolet Malibu Needs a Kit Rather Than Individual Components

New brake pads on your Chevrolet Malibu must bed into the rotor surface during the first 200 to 300 kilometres. When the pad compound and rotor surface finish are mismatched on the Chevrolet Malibu, bedding-in is inconsistent, producing noise, vibration, and uneven wear. A GeoBrakes kit pairs pad and rotor from the same specification set for the Chevrolet Malibu, ensuring the smoothest possible break-in and the most consistent long-term friction performance on your Malibu.

What Is Included in the Chevrolet Malibu Rotor and Hub Assembly Kit

The kit for your Chevrolet Malibu includes the integrated rotor and hub assembly at OEM specification for the Malibu hub geometry, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Chevrolet Malibu rotor surface finish, caliper hardware with slide pins and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper operation on your Malibu, and rotor mounting hardware where required by the Chevrolet Malibu application.

Signs Your Chevrolet Malibu Rotor and Hub Assembly Kit Is Due

• Malibu rotor surfaces scored, deeply grooved, or below minimum thickness specification
• Wheel bearing noise on your Chevrolet Malibu, humming or rumbling changing pitch during cornering
• Excessive wheel play or looseness on the Malibu detected during a manual push-pull inspection
• Steering wheel or floor vibration on your Chevrolet Malibu at highway speed from rotor runout
• ABS warning light on your Malibu caused by hub bearing affecting the wheel speed sensor air gap
• Damaged or stripped wheel studs on the Chevrolet Malibu requiring hub replacement alongside rotor service

Frequently Asked Questions - Chevrolet Malibu Rotor and Hub Assembly Kits

Should I replace rotor and hub assembly kits on both sides of my Chevrolet Malibu?

Yes. Replacing both left and right on the same axle of your Chevrolet Malibu ensures balanced braking, even wear, and consistent vehicle handling. Both assemblies have experienced the same service conditions on the Malibu and are at a comparable stage of wear.

Can I use the pads from the kit with my existing Chevrolet Malibu rotors?

While the pads will physically fit existing Malibu rotors, it is strongly recommended to install new pads on a new rotor surface. Worn Chevrolet Malibu rotors have an uneven profile that prevents new pads from bedding in correctly, producing vibration, noise, and accelerated pad wear on your Malibu.

Does the Chevrolet Malibu kit include the wheel bearing?

This depends on the specific Chevrolet Malibu application. On many Malibu front-wheel-drive platforms, the wheel bearing is a separate component not included in the rotor-hub casting. Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector to confirm what is included in the kit for your Chevrolet Malibu.
