Rear Disc Brake - Overview (G1348253): Overview

The standard and performance rear braking systems feature ventilated brake discs and aluminum, single piston, sliding calipers.

The brake discs are:

• 326 mm (12.83 in.) diameter x 20 mm (0.79 in.) thick on standard brakes (the same as on base brakes).
• 376 mm (14.8 in.) diameter x 26 mm (1.02 in.) thick on performance brakes.

The brake disc is manufactured from cast iron. The brake disc is retained on the wheel hub by two washers and the wheel nuts.

A brake pad wear sensor is fitted to the RH (right-hand) rear brake.

Also incorporated into each rear brake caliper carrier is the parking brake mechanism.

Refer to: Parking Brake (Description and Operation).

After any work on the rear brakes, the parking brake must be recalibrated.
