Yes, the brakes are designed to be fully compatible with all 2008-2013 Infiniti EX35 models, including both 2WD and AWD variants. They meet OEM specifications for rotor size (12.6 inches front, 12.1 inches rear), pad material, and caliper fitment. Ensure your vehicle’s trim and production date align with the product details for optimal compatibility.
Q2 What is the recommended maintenance schedule for these brakes?
What is the recommended maintenance schedule for these brakes?
Infiniti recommends inspecting brake pads and rotors every 10,000 miles and replacing pads when thickness is below 3mm. Rotors should be replaced or resurfaced if worn beyond minimum thickness specifications. Brake fluid should be flushed every 30,000 miles or 2 years. Regular checks for uneven wear, noise, or vibration are essential to maintain braking efficiency.
Q3 How do I replace the brakes on a 2008-2013 Infiniti EX35?
How do I replace the brakes on a 2008-2013 Infiniti EX35?
To replace the brakes, lift the vehicle and remove the wheels. Unbolt the caliper and hang it safely. Remove the old brake pads and inspect the rotors. If necessary, replace or resurface the rotors. Install new brake pads, reassemble the caliper, and torque bolts to OEM specifications. Repeat for all wheels, then test the brakes before driving.
Q4 What should I do if my brakes are squeaking or vibrating?
What should I do if my brakes are squeaking or vibrating?
Squeaking or vibrating brakes may indicate worn pads, uneven rotor surfaces, or debris buildup. Inspect the pads and rotors for wear or damage. Clean the brake components and apply brake grease to contact points. If the issue persists, replace the pads or rotors as needed. Ensure proper installation to avoid further problems.
Q5 How can I optimize the performance of my brakes?
How can I optimize the performance of my brakes?
To optimize brake performance, use high-quality brake pads and rotors designed for your vehicle. Avoid hard braking and excessive heat buildup. Regularly clean brake components to prevent debris accumulation. Ensure proper bedding-in of new pads by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Check brake fluid levels and replace it as recommended.
