Brakes - Calipers To Knuckle Clearance

SUBJECT:
BRAKE CALIPERS TO KNUCKLE CLEARANCE
MODELS AFFECTED: ALL
The front caliper to knuckle clearance given in the service manuals may be misinterpreted. The indicator clearance of 0.13 - 0.30 mm (0.005 - 0.012 in.)
represents a ideal condition where the caliper is centered in the knuckle opening. In actual practice, braking action moves the caliper against the knuckle
which may result in little or no clearance on one end of the caliper/knuckle assembly. The clearance at each end of the caliper should be measured
individually and added together to determine the total caliper to knuckle clearance. The total clearance should be 0.26 - 0.60 mm (0.010 - 0.024 in.).
