Brake Pad Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: If there is a significant difference in thickness between the brake pads at right and left, check the sliding area and the runout of the brake disc (Refer to DISC BRAKE ROTOR CHECK ).

Visually check the thickness of brake pad from the inspection hole of the caliper body.
Standard value: 10.0 mm (0.39 inch)

Limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 inch)
If the brake pad thickness is less than the limit value, replace the brake pad (Refer to BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT <EXCEPT RALLIART> or BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT <RALLIART> ).
