Front Brake Pad Inspection
Wear indicator grooves are provided on each front brake pad to allow for a visual inspection without pad removal. Inspect pads by viewing from rear of caliper. Replace pads if worn to bottom of grooves.
-
Viewing the front brake pads from the front of the calipers, locate the wear indicator grooves 1.
-
Wear indicator grooves should be visible on both inboard and outboard brake pads.
CAUTIONFront brake pads should always be replaced as a complete set. If it is determined that an individual brake pad has worn past the wear indicator groove, the front caliper should receive a new pad set. Failure to replace both front brake pads together may cause reduced braking performance or brake failure, resulting in a vehicle crash.
