Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

Q1

Are these brakes compatible with all 2014-2015 Infiniti Q60 models?

The brakes are specifically designed for the 2014-2015 Infiniti Q60 models, including both the 3.7L and 3.7L AWD variants. They are compatible with OEM specifications and meet or exceed original equipment performance standards. Always verify your vehicle's trim and configuration before purchasing to ensure proper fitment.

Q2

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the brakes?

For optimal performance, inspect the brake pads every 12,000 miles and replace them if thickness is below 3mm. Rotors should be checked for wear and warping every 25,000 miles. Brake fluid should be flushed every 30,000 miles or as recommended in your owner's manual. Regular cleaning of brake components is also advised to prevent debris buildup.

Q3

How do I replace the brake pads on a 2014-2015 Infiniti Q60?

To replace the brake pads, first, lift the vehicle and remove the wheels. Unbolt the caliper and hang it securely. Remove the old pads and compress the caliper piston using a C-clamp. Install the new pads, reassemble the caliper, and torque the bolts to the manufacturer's specifications. Finally, reinstall the wheels and test the brakes before driving.

Q4

What should I do if my brakes are squeaking or vibrating?

Squeaking may indicate worn brake pads or debris on the rotors. Inspect the pads and replace if necessary. Vibrations often suggest warped rotors, which may need resurfacing or replacement. Ensure all components are properly torqued and lubricated. If issues persist, consult a professional mechanic for further diagnosis.

Q5

How can I optimize the performance of my brakes?

To optimize brake performance, use high-quality brake pads and rotors designed for your vehicle. Avoid aggressive driving, which can cause overheating. Regularly clean brake components to prevent debris buildup. Consider upgrading to performance brake fluid for improved heat resistance. Always follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule for best results.
