Brake Lining And Brake Drum 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.
- Measure the thickness of the brake lining at several places.
Standard value: 2.8 mm (0.11 inch)
Minimum limit: 1.0 mm (0.04 inch)
- If the thickness of the brake lining is below the limit, replace the shoe and lining assemblies on both sides of the vehicle. Never replace only one side.
- Measure the inside diameter of the brake disc in two places or more.
Standard value: 168.0 mm (6.61 inch)
Limit: 169.0 mm (6.65 inch)
- If the inside diameter exceeds the limit, or if it is excessively worn on one side, replace the brake disc.
