What should the thickness be on the front brake lining for Ford ranger 2010
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoWarped brake rotors, have them resurfaced if thick enough and have the pads replaced at the same time. If the rotors are not thick enough they will have to be replaced too. Could be the ABS also.
about 150 t0 175 dollars for brake pads and new rotors at advance auto Other pricing: Autozone: * Rotors range from $26 to $45 (don't buy the 'value' rotors - more likely to warp) * Rotors that are thick enough can be turned/machined - local shop does them for only $10-15 * Pads start at $19, upgrade to $32, and top-o-the-line "CMax" ceramics (my favorite type!) at $55 Be sure to grease up the slide pins and anywhere the pads 'ride' on the caliper brackets - using BRAKE grease.
AS A GENERAL RULE YOU GET THE ROTORS CUT OR RESURFACED BY A REPUTABLE SHOP. THERE IS NOT REPAIR THEY ARE EITHER THICK ENOUGH TO CUT OR THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED
you have out of round brake rotors, they can be replaced or machined if they are thick enough, the front pads should be replaced or placed on sand paper on a flat suface to remove the glazing so they will seat properly to freshly machined surface
how thick should a front rotor on a 2005 envoy be
To do it yourself on 2002 model, for two new rotors and brake pads, the parts are around $130-$250 depending on the level of quality you choose and where you purchase. Shop around. If the old rotors are still thick enough to machine, some money can be saved by doing that instead of buying new. Most brake shops can machine rotors from $20 and up each, if you bring them the rotors. Shop around for decent prices and if they tell you they're too thin to turn, protect yourself from fraud by getting a second opinion elsewhere or disposing of the rotors elsewhere (that way they can't just say they're no good, keep the rotors, turn them and sell them to someone else for more).
Someone is going to come back with a number. Don't believe them. Never turn Japanese brake rotors or brake drums. They aren't thick enough to allow any metal to be cut off if you want them to work properly. Turn them and you risk overheating problems.
Yes; the Volkswagen Jetta tdi had a thick disk brake in the front end and the rear disk brake is larger in diameter than the front brakes but not as reinforced.
They will have flash rust due to moisture, if they are thick enough, driving slowly, after a few miles of light braking will clean them of the rust.
Take tires, rotors and brake pads off. Then get a piece of thick wood and hold it on the rotor and beat it with a hammer to loosin the rotor. Then it will almost fall off in your hand.
to help reduce the amount of heat damage from braking. The more mass to an object, the less high temperatures will affect it & cause warping, distortion, and burns\fire.
Yes more than likely, warped rotors. Have rotors turned if thick enough as well as new brake pads installed. If the rotors do not meet a minimum thickness requirements, they will have to be replaced as well. A good shake down of the front end wouldn't hurt either. Sometimes bearing, tie rods, etc... can cause stuff to happen as well. But I would bank on the warped rotor idea, no doubt. Good Luck. Let me know if further questions.
