Infiniti FX35 2003-2008 Brakes Specifications

Yes, these brakes are specifically designed for the 2003-2008 Infiniti FX35 models. They meet OEM specifications for rotor diameter, thickness, and pad size, ensuring proper fitment and performance. Compatibility includes both front and rear brake systems. Always verify part numbers with your vehicle’s manual or a professional mechanic to ensure accuracy.

The Infiniti FX35 brake system should be inspected every 12,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first. Brake pads typically need replacement every 30,000-50,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. Rotors should be checked for wear and replaced if they fall below the minimum thickness specification. Regular fluid flushes every 30,000 miles are also recommended to maintain optimal performance.

To replace the brake pads, first, lift the vehicle and remove the wheels. Unbolt the caliper and carefully hang it to avoid damaging the brake line. Remove the old pads and inspect the rotor for wear. Install the new pads, ensuring they are properly seated. Reattach the caliper and tighten the bolts to the manufacturer’s torque specifications. Repeat the process for all wheels and test the brakes before driving.

Squeaking or vibrating brakes often indicate worn pads, uneven rotor surfaces, or debris in the brake system. Start by inspecting the brake pads and rotors for wear or damage. Clean the brake components thoroughly to remove any debris. If the issue persists, consider resurfacing or replacing the rotors and pads. If vibrations continue, check for wheel balance or suspension issues.

To optimize brake performance, use high-quality brake pads and rotors that match OEM specifications. Ensure proper installation and torque settings for all components. Regularly inspect and clean the brake system to prevent debris buildup. Use brake fluid with the correct DOT rating and perform fluid flushes as recommended. Avoid aggressive driving habits to extend the lifespan of your brakes.
