The minimum front brake rotor thickness is three aids of an inch. When the rotor does not have the minimum thickness the auto mechanic replacing the brakes can not use the rotor.
23mm or 0.91 inch
What are the brake rotors minimum thickness on a 1997 Buick Century? Thanking you in advance.
The minimum thickness for rotors on a Dodge truck is between 0.5 and 1 inch. It varies greatly based on the model and whether it is the front or rear brakes.
The minimum rotor thickness for a 1992 Saturn SL2 is .625 inches for the front and .350 inches for the rear if equipped with rear disc brakes.
Front pads (disc brakes) Rear shoes (drum brakes)
Remove the wheels and judge the thickness of the brake pads. There is no adjustment on disc brakes. You will normally wear out 2 sets on the front before you wear out one on the rear.
Look at the pads and measure the thickness. The minimum allowed thickness for the brakes pads is 2 mm. Replace if they are worn to this point. You will have to remove the wheel to measure the pads.
No, rear brakes do not typically wear faster than front brakes. In most vehicles, front brakes wear out faster due to the weight transfer during braking, which puts more stress on the front brakes.
To fix the front brakes on your bike, follow these steps: Inspect the brake pads for wear and tear. Adjust the brake cable tension if needed. Align the brake pads with the rim. Clean the braking surface on the rim. Test the brakes to ensure they are working properly. If the brakes still don't work, consider replacing the brake pads or taking the bike to a professional for further inspection.
For a peice of mind I usually start by taking mine into Belle tire for a free front end inspection just in case it's not a brake issue. You usually get an estimate of what they think it is, and as long as it's not front end related you can go right to your brakes. A shimmy in the front end is typically a sign your brake rotors are starting to or are warped. With that said, if it is your rotor it should feel more like a pulsation in your brake pedal as well. If you have'NT changed your brake pads in a while you should do a front brake inspection. Look for pad thickness and any obviuos wear in the thickness of the rotor. You should be able to have your rotors machined at a local auto store and put a new set of pads on. I would recommend Raybestos or Bendix. Make sure you you use a torque wrench for the final tightinig on your lug nuts. Uneven lug nut pressure can cause premature rotor warping. Good luck. Ed
