WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove dirt and rust from the brake disc surface.
  2. Using a micrometer, measure disc thickness at eight positions, approximately 45 degrees apart and 10 mm (0.4 inch) in from the outer edge of the disc.

    Standard value: 

    24.0 mm (0.9 inch) < 2.4L ENGINE > 

    26.0 mm (1.02 inch) < 3.0L ENGINE > 

    Minimum limit: 

    22.4 mm (0.88 inch) < 2.4L ENGINE > 

    24.4 mm (0.96 inch) < 3.0L ENGINE > 

    NOTE: Thickness variation (at least 8 positions) should not be more than 0.015 mm (0.0006 inch).
  3. If the disc thickness is less than limit value thick, replace it with a new one. If thickness variation exceeds the specification, turn rotor with an on-the-car type brake lathe ("Accuturn-8750" or equivalent).

    If the calculated final thickness after turning the rotor is less than the standard value, replace the disc.
