Pad Wear Check
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.
WARNING:
- Always replace both brake pads on each wheel as a set (both front wheels or both rear wheels). Failure to do so will result in uneven braking, which may cause unreliable brake operation.
- If there is significant difference in the thickness of the pads on the left and right sides, check the sliding condition of the piston, lock pin and guide pin.
Measure thickness at the thinnest and most worn area of the pad. Replace the pad assembly if pad thickness is less than the limit value.
Standard value: 10 mm (0.39 inch)
Minimum limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 inch)
