Should the rear brakes have a slight rub when you turn each rear wheel ? I believe I correctly adjusted with a feeler gauge to .8 mm but I do get a rub when I spin the wheel... that does not seem right with the parking brake off
Thanks in advance for any comments |

https://youtu.be/oUvYRPe2bDw There's usually a high spot on the rotor. You put the high spot under the brake pads when setting the venting clearance. Yes, the spec is .004, but you don't need to be too precious with a feeler gauge. Just turn the adjuster till the pad contacts the rotor (one side at at a time), then back it off till it juuuuust doesn't touch. if the high spot is too high out of flat, then yes the rotor may need to be replaced. You don't want the brakes rubbing at all, as they'll get hot and/or the flex lines will swell. If you're not comfortable with this, please go to a pro. There's no shame in making sure your brakes are working correctly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
