Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about torque specifications
Q1 Are these brakes compatible with all 2009-2013 Infiniti G37 models?
Are these brakes compatible with all 2009-2013 Infiniti G37 models?
Yes, these brakes are designed to be compatible with all 2009-2013 Infiniti G37 models, including coupe and sedan variants. They meet OEM specifications for rotor size, pad dimensions, and caliper fitment. However, it is recommended to verify compatibility with your specific trim level, as performance packages or aftermarket modifications may require adjustments.
Q2 What is the recommended maintenance schedule for Infiniti G37 brakes?
What is the recommended maintenance schedule for Infiniti G37 brakes?
Infiniti recommends inspecting the brake system every 12,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first. Brake pads should be replaced when worn to 3mm or less, and rotors should be checked for thickness and surface condition. Brake fluid should be flushed every 30,000 miles or 2 years to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Q3 How do I replace the brake pads on a 2009-2013 Infiniti G37?
How do I replace the brake pads on a 2009-2013 Infiniti G37?
To replace the brake pads, first, lift the vehicle and remove the wheels. Loosen the caliper bolts and remove the caliper, then take out the old pads. Compress the caliper piston using a C-clamp, install the new pads, and reassemble the caliper. Torque the bolts to 26-32 ft-lbs and reinstall the wheels. Always 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. If the rotors are warped, they may need resurfacing or replacement. Clean the brake components and apply anti-squeal compound to the back of the pads if necessary. If issues persist, consult a professional.
Q5 How can I optimize the performance of my Infiniti G37 brakes?
How can I optimize the performance of my Infiniti G37 brakes?
To optimize brake performance, use high-quality brake pads and rotors designed for your driving style. Consider upgrading to slotted or drilled rotors for better heat dissipation. Regularly clean the brake components to prevent debris buildup. Ensure proper bedding-in of new pads and rotors by following the manufacturer's instructions for gradual braking cycles.
