Disc brake pad inspection

1. Disc brake pad inspection

1) Measure the thickness of the disc brake pad.

Standard: 10.0 mm { 0.394 in }

Limit: 1.5 mm { 0.059 in }

Note

  • When the pad wear indicator makes a scratching sound or is worn to within 1.8 mm {0.071 in} of the shoe table, replace the pad.

Caution

  • If replacing the disc brake pad, replace all 4 pads.

2. Brake rotor inspection

1. Visual inspection

1) Inspect for the following.

  • Wear
  • Bending
  • Deterioration
  • Corrosion
  • Scratches
  • Other malfunctions

2. Thickness measurement

1) Measure the thickness of the brake rotor.

Specifications
Standard value
Limit
2WD (Except high ride suspension specifications)
30.0 mm { 1.181 in }
28.0 mm { 1.102 in }
2WD (High ride suspension specifications), 4WD
30.0 mm { 1.181 in }
28.0 mm { 1.102 in }

3. Parallelism measurement

1) Measure the degree of parallelization of the brake rotor.

Note

  • Measure at a position located 10 mm {0.04 in} inward of the brake rotor outer edge within 0.023 mm {0.0009 in} of the contact surface.
  • Measure at 8 or more locations in the circumferential direction.

Limit: 0.023 mm { 0.00091 in }

3. Brake rotor vehicle inspection

1. Runout measurement

Correctly adjust the front hub preload before measuring.

1) Measure the runout using a dial gauge.

Note

  • Measure at a position of 20 mm {0.79 in} from the brake rotor outer edge of the surface that makes contact with the disc brake pad.

Limit: 0.050 mm { 0.00197 in }
