    (B) Position for measuring front wheel
    (C) Position for measuring rear wheel
  2. When the brake dragging force is large
    • Check the dragging of brake pad.

      Judgment standards: 

        Braking force
      Rear wheel total 10% or more of load on front or rear wheels
      Difference between right and left wheels 8% or less of load on front or rear wheels
      Grand total 50% or more of vehicle weight at the time of test
    • When measurement is difficult to carry out because both of front wheels are locked, brake force measurement in this condition conforms to standard grand total.
