Front Brake Disc Thickness Check
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Kia Forte. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Check the brake pads for wear and fade.
- Check the brake disc for damage and cracks.
- Remove all rust and contamination from the surface, and measure the disc thickness at 24 points, at least, at the same distance (10 mm) apart from the brake disc outer circle.
Front brake disc thickness (15 inch disc)
- Standard: 23.0 mm (0.9055 in.)
- Service Limit: 21.0 mm (0.83 in)
Front brake disc thickness (16 inch disc)
- Standard: 25.0 mm (0.9843 in.)
- Service Limit: 23.4 mm (0.9213 in.)
DTV (Disc Thickness Variation):
Circumference direction: Less than 0.005 mm (0.00020 in.)
Radial direction: Less than 0.010 mm (0.00040 in.)
- If the measured DTV larger than the limit and thickness thicker than the service limit of the disc, skim the brake disc.NOTE:
- Skim the disc according to the method of using each skimming lathe. (On-car mounting or external device)
- Do not skim the brake disc when it reaches the service limit.
- If the brake disc is thinner than the service limit, replace the brake disc.
