INSPECTION
PAD WEAR CHECK
WARNING
-
Always replace both brake pads on each wheel as a set (both front wheels or both rear wheels). Failure to do so will result in uneven braking,
which may cause an unpredictable vehicle condition.
-
If there is significant difference in the thickness of the pads on the Jeff and right sides, check the sliding condition of the piston, lock pin and guide
pin.
Measure thickness at the thinnest and most worn area of the pad. Replace the pad assembly if pad thickness is less than the limit value.
Standard value: 10.0 mm (0.39 inch)
Minimum limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 inch)
