Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

Q1

What are the brake system specifications for the 2017-Present Infiniti Q60?

The 2017-Present Infiniti Q60 features a dual-piston sliding caliper front brake system and a single-piston sliding caliper rear brake system. The front rotors measure 320mm in diameter, while the rear rotors are 300mm. The system is compatible with DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. It is important to use only OEM or equivalent high-performance brake pads and rotors to ensure optimal compatibility and safety.

Q2

What are the maintenance requirements for the Infiniti Q60 brakes?

Regular brake maintenance for the Infiniti Q60 includes inspecting brake pads and rotors every 12,000 miles or as recommended in the owner’s manual. Brake fluid should be flushed and replaced every 30,000 miles or every two years, whichever comes first. Ensure brake calipers are lubricated during pad replacements to prevent sticking. Always check for uneven wear, unusual noises, or reduced braking performance and address issues promptly.

Q3

How do I replace the brake pads on a 2017-Present Infiniti Q60?

To replace the brake pads on a 2017-Present Infiniti Q60, first, lift the vehicle and remove the wheels. Unbolt the caliper and hang it securely to avoid damaging the brake line. Remove the old brake pads and compress the caliper piston using a C-clamp. Install the new pads, ensuring they are seated correctly. Reattach the caliper and tighten the bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications. Finally, reinstall the wheels and test the brakes before driving.

Q4

What should I do if my Infiniti Q60 brakes are squeaking or vibrating?

Squeaking or vibrating brakes on your Infiniti Q60 may indicate worn pads, uneven rotor surfaces, or debris in the braking system. Inspect the brake pads for wear and replace if necessary. Check the rotors for warping or scoring and resurface or replace them as needed. Ensure all components are clean and properly lubricated. If the issue persists, inspect the calipers and brake lines for damage or malfunction.

Q5

How can I optimize the braking performance of my Infiniti Q60?

To optimize braking performance, use high-performance brake pads and rotors designed for the Infiniti Q60. Upgrade to stainless steel brake lines for improved pedal feel and responsiveness. Ensure the brake fluid is fresh and meets DOT 4 specifications. Regularly inspect and maintain the braking system, and avoid aggressive driving habits that can lead to premature wear. Properly bed in new brake pads to ensure optimal performance.
