DIAGNOSIS
LINING INSPECTION
1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
2. Remove the front wheels. Refer toSection 2E, Tires
and Wheels.
3. Visually check the linings for minimum thickness
and wear.
4. Measure the thickness.
Important : The minimum thickness of the inner or outer
pad is 9 mm(0.35 inch).
1. Install the brake pads in axle sets only.
2. Install the front wheels. Refer toSection 2E, Tires
and Wheels.
3. Lower the vehicle.
ROTOR INSPECTION
Thickness variation can be checked by measuring the
thickness of the rotor at four or more points around the cir-
cumference of the rotor. All measurements must be made
at the same distance in from the edge of the rotor.
A rotor that varies by more than 0.005 mm (0.0005 inch)
can cause pedal pulsations and/or front end vibration dur-
ing brake applications. A rotor that does not meet these
specifications should be refinished to specifications or re-
placed.
