for irregular wear.
Minimum pad thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
HINT: If a squealing or scraping noise comes from the brake
during driving, check the pad wear indicator to see if it is
contacting the disc rotor. If so, the disc pad should be re-
placed.
Minimum disc thickness:
Front 24.0 mm (0.945 in.)
Rear 9.0 mm (0.354 in.)
Maximum disc runout:
Front 0.07 mm (0.0028 in.)
