Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

Q1

Are these brakes compatible with the 2009-2013 Infiniti FX35?

Yes, these brakes are specifically designed for the 2009-2013 Infiniti FX35. They meet OEM specifications, ensuring proper fit and performance. The brake pads and rotors are engineered to match the vehicle's weight, braking system, and driving dynamics. Always verify part numbers with your vehicle's VIN to confirm compatibility.

Q2

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?

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?

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.

Q5

How can I optimize the performance of my brakes?

Use high-quality brake pads and rotors designed for your vehicle. Avoid aggressive braking to prevent overheating. Regularly inspect and clean brake components. Upgrade to performance brake fluid for better heat resistance. Ensure proper bedding-in of new pads to maximize performance and longevity.
