REAR DISC BRAKE (RHD) : Inspection

INFOID:0000000011497407

APPEARANCE

Check surface of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. Replace if there are.

RUNOUT

Fix the disc rotor to the wheel hub and bearing assembly with
wheel nuts (2 points at least).

Inspect the runout with a dial gauge. [Measured at 10 mm (0.39
in) inside disc edge.]

NOTE:
Check the wheel bearing axial end play before the inspection.
Refer to

RAX-3, "Inspection"

(2WD),

RAX-10, "Inspection"

(4WD).

Find the installation position with a minimum runout by shifting the disc rotor-to-wheel hub and bearing
assembly installation position by one hole at a time if the runout exceeds the limit value.

Replace or lathe the disc rotor if the runout exceeds the limit even after the above operation.

THICKNESS

Check the thickness of the disc rotor using a micrometer. Replace
the disc rotor if the thickness is below the wear limit.
