Brake Drag Force Check
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the brake pad, shim and clip (Refer to BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT ).
- Using a spring scale, measure the hub sliding torque in the forward direction with the brake pad, shim and clip removed.
- Install the brake pad, shim and clip (Refer to BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT ).
- Start the engine, and depress the brake pedal lightly two or three times. Then stop the engine. [Depressing force: approximately 50 - 100 N (11.2 - 22.5 pound)]
- Turn the brake disk 10 times in the forward direction.
- Using a spring scale, measure the hub sliding torque in the forward direction with the brake pad, shim and clip installed.
- Obtain the disk brake drag force (difference between measured values of item 2 and item 6).
Standard value: 68 N (15.3 pounds) or less
- If the brake drag force exceeds the standard value, disassemble the brake caliper assembly to check for fouling/rust on the piston sliding section and piston seal deterioration, and confirm whether the guide pin and lock pin slide properly (Front: Refer to DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY . Rear: Refer to DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY <VEHICLES WITHOUT ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE> or DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY <VEHICLES WITH ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE> ).
