Grand AM V6-3.4L VIN E (2001)
Important:
Service kits include specific right hand and left hand inboard pads. When installing front brake pads, the pads with the wear indicators must be
installed in the inboard position (against the piston) in the brake caliper. Figure 1, callout (1) shows the proper positioning of the wear indicator.
When the proper inboard pad is installed, the wear indictor will point upward with the caliper installed on the car. If the pad with the wear indicator
is installed in the outboard position, front brake lining life may be reduced. In addition, interference between the compact spare wheel and the caliper
can occur. This interference may be sufficient to prevent the wheel from turning when the compact spare is installed.
