Disc Plate Thickness Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Mazda 3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- Excessive runout may result if the disc plate is removed from the vehicle then machined. Machine the disc plate while installed on the vehicle.
- Remove the wheel and tire. (See WHEEL AND TIRE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Measure the thickness of the disc plate.
Minimum rear disc plate thickness
7.0 mm {0.28 in}
Minimum rear disc plate thickness after machining using a brake lathe on-vehicle
7.8 mm {0.31 in}
- If the thickness is not within the specification, replace the disc plate. (See REAR BRAKE (DISC) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
