Note. If the vehicle pulls to one side or a strange noise is heard when braking, check the condition of the brake pads.
1. Place the car on a lift or jack (supports).
2. Remove the front wheel.
3. Check the condition of the pads through the hole in the brake caliper housing. If the thickness of the friction linings is less than the maximum allowable (tab. 9.1), replace the brake pads (see Replacing the brake pads of the brake mechanism of the front wheel).
4. Measure the thickness of the brake disc at eight points evenly spaced around the circumference (through 45°) and approximately 15 mm from the outer edge of the disc. If its thickness is less than the maximum allowable (see table. 9.1), replace the brake disc (see Replacing the brake disc of the front wheel brake mechanism).
5. Similarly, check the degree of wear of the brake pads..
6.... and the brake disc of the rear wheel brake.
