What maintenance is required for the brakes on a 2009-2013 Infiniti FX35?
Regular maintenance includes inspecting brake pads and rotors every 10,000 miles. Replace pads when thickness is below 3mm and rotors if they show signs of warping or scoring. Brake fluid should be flushed every 30,000 miles. Ensure calipers are free of debris and lubricate slide pins annually to prevent sticking.
Q3 How do I replace the brakes on a 2009-2013 Infiniti FX35?
How do I replace the brakes on a 2009-2013 Infiniti FX35?
To replace the brakes, lift the vehicle and remove the wheels. Unbolt the caliper and hang it safely. Remove old pads and inspect the rotor. If replacing the rotor, remove the retaining screw and slide it off. Install new rotors and pads, reassemble the caliper, and torque bolts to spec. Test 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 may indicate worn pads or glazed rotors. Inspect and replace if necessary. Vibrations often suggest warped rotors, which should be resurfaced or replaced. Ensure all components are clean and properly installed. If issues persist, check calipers and brake fluid for potential problems.
