Brake Pad Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: If there is a significant difference in thickness between the brake pads at right and left, check the sliding area and the run-out of the brake disc (Refer to LUBRICATION POINT BRAKE DISC CHECK ).

Visually check the thickness of brake pad from the inspection hole of the caliper body.
Standard value: 10.0 mm (0.39 inch)

Limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 inch)
If the brake pad thickness is less than the limit value, replace the brake pad (Refer to BRAKE PAD CHECK ).
