Information On Brake Disc Wear Assessment
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2019 Porsche 911, 2018 Porsche 911, 2017 Porsche 911, 2016 Porsche 911, and 2015 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The condition of the parts can make replacement necessary under two criteria, depending on the amount of wear on cross-drilled (perforated) brake discs:
- Cracks in the cross-drilled friction plate at advanced stage.
- Minimum brake disc thickness is not attained due to wear (material erosion due to friction).
In practice, both forms of disc erosion occur.
Normally, brake disc replacement is necessary if the thickness is less than the minimum thickness. In rare, isolated cases (of very high loads for long periods) replacement may be necessary due to crack formation. To a certain extent, these cracks may be rated as not important.
The maximum permitted perforation crack length is 5 mm.
