FRONT BRAKE DISCS Warning: Discs are replaced only in pairs and together with a set of pads. Inspection

PROCEDURE

1. Raise the front of the vehicle and support it on stands.

2. Remove the wheels.

3. Rotate the disc slowly and check its condition. If necessary, remove the pads.

4. Replace the disc if it has cracks or deep scoring.

5. If a lip has formed on the disc due to wear, measure the disc thickness.

6. Measure the thickness at several points, both at the pad contact area and at the edge.

7. If the thickness at the worn areas is equal to or less than the minimum thickness, replace the disc.

8. Check the hub bearing adjustment, then check disc runout with a dial indicator or by inserting feeler gauges, for example between the disc and the caliper bracket.

9. If runout exceeds the specification, remove the disc, turn it over and reinstall it on the hub.

10. If runout still exceeds the specification, replace the disc.

11. Check the disc at the mounting points and for damage elsewhere.
