WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Subaru Outback and 2007 Subaru Legacy. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Check the pad thickness A.
BRAKE PAD THICKNESS SPECIFICATIONS
| Type of disc rotor | Solid | Ventilated | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pad thickness mm (in) | Standard value | 9.0 (0.35) | 9.0 (0.35) |
| Wear limit | 1.5 (0.059) | 1.5 (0.059) | |
NOTE:
- Always replace the pads for both right and left wheels as a set.
- Also replace pad clips if they are twisted or worn.
- A wear indicator is provided on the inner disc brake pad. If the pad wears down to such an extent that the end of wear indicator contacts disc rotor, a squeaking sound is produced as the wheel rotates. If this sound is heard, replace the pad.
- Replace the pad if there is oil or grease on it.
