11mm according to Bentley Manual
It depends if 4 WD or just FWD and what year model Generally: FRONT: Brake pad minimum thickness 3.0 mm (0.118 inch) Brake pad maximum taper wear (in any direction) 3.0 mm (0.118 inch) Brake disc minimum thickness (disc-drum system) 22 mm (0.866 inch) Brake disc minimum thickness (4-wheel disc brake system) 24 mm (0.944 inch) REAR: Brake Pad Brake pad minimum thickness 3.0 mm (0.118 inch) Brake pad maximum taper wear (in any direction) 3.0 mm (0.118 inch) Brake Disc Brake disc minimum thickness 11.0 mm (0.433 inch)
It depends on the vehicle type, but generally - when your brake pad thickness is 2 mm it is time to change the brake pad.
Just buy new brake pads.
The Mazda 3 is 2mm, probably the same - 2mm
about 5mm then after that they will get hot and squeak
Minimum disc thickness vented front 24.6mm .Minimum disc thickness rear 16.6mm. min pad thickness front & rear 1mm
The brake rotor minimum thickness is .060 This applies to either the 2.3CL or 3.0CL, front or rear rotors. Seems awfully thin for a brake rotor, doesn't it? Other sources say .83 in. (21mm)front, .35 in. (9mm) rear [AcuraFixerDave] That rotor thickness is probably the BRAKE PAD thickness minimum, not including the steel backing plate [AcuraFixerDave].
It is the thickness of brake pads when they are new form factory.
I would replce at about 4mm to keep the pad from comming off the backing plate and causing damage.
later models of the hyundai accent had a minimum brake pad thickess of around 200mm (20cm) the reason being was the fact that the disc was paper thin, so they compensated for the wafer thin disc by oversizing the pads
the only way you change brake pad or disc
Not familiar with state inspection requirements, if that's what you mean. In general, a pad is considered worn out when it has 1/16 friction material left to rivet heads or backing plate.
