Basic Information

Checking involves the following tasks: Information 

1. Visual inspection for surface changes in the brake disc friction surfaces and wear indicators. Indication of wear: Connected surface fracture > 1 cm²-arrow-  , without adding up smaller fractures → 465402 CHECKING REAR PCCB BRAKE DISC (WEAR ASSESSMENT)  - section on "Checking".

2. Check surface roughness Rk of brake discs (max. 80 μm permitted) since this affects braking comfort (noises), braking behavior/pedal pressure and brake-pad service life → 465402 CHECKING REAR PCCB BRAKE DISC (WEAR ASSESSMENT)  - section on "Checking".
