Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about torque specifications
Q1 Are these brakes compatible with all 2006-Present Infiniti M35 models?
Are these brakes compatible with all 2006-Present Infiniti M35 models?
Yes, these brakes are specifically designed to be compatible with all 2006-Present Infiniti M35 models, including both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive variants. They meet OEM specifications for rotor size, pad material, and caliper fitment. Always verify your vehicle's trim level and production year before purchase to ensure proper compatibility.
Q2 What is the recommended maintenance schedule for Infiniti M35 brakes?
What is the recommended maintenance schedule for Infiniti M35 brakes?
Infiniti recommends inspecting brake pads and rotors every 12,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first. Replace brake pads when they reach 3mm thickness or show uneven wear. Rotors should be resurfaced or replaced if they exhibit scoring, warping, or thickness below the minimum specification. Brake fluid should be flushed every 30,000 miles or 2 years.
Q3 How do I replace the brake pads on a 2006-Present Infiniti M35?
How do I replace the brake pads on a 2006-Present Infiniti M35?
To replace brake pads, lift the vehicle and remove the wheels. Unbolt the caliper and hang it securely. Remove the old pads and inspect the rotors. Compress the caliper piston using a brake tool. Install new pads, ensuring proper alignment. Reattach the caliper and tighten bolts to the specified torque. Reinstall the wheels and 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 may indicate worn pads, glazed rotors, or lack of lubrication on pad contact points. Vibrations often suggest warped rotors. Inspect the brake components for wear or damage. Clean and lubricate contact points, and resurface or replace rotors if necessary. If issues persist, consult a professional mechanic for further diagnosis.
Q5 How can I optimize the performance of my Infiniti M35 brakes?
How can I optimize the performance of my Infiniti M35 brakes?
For optimal performance, use high-quality brake pads and rotors designed for your driving style. Regularly clean brake components to prevent debris buildup. Upgrade to performance brake fluid for better heat resistance. Avoid hard braking when possible to reduce wear. Ensure proper bedding-in of new pads and rotors to maximize braking efficiency.
