When the wheels are removed for rotation, inspect disc brake pads for wear
and rotors for surface condition.

inspect drum brake linings for wear and
cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including drums, wheel cylinders, parking

or
dirt from the wheel and
mounting surfaces before mounting the wheel.
Inspect brakes more often if driving habits or conditions result in
frequent braking.
