Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about torque specifications
Q1 Are these brakes compatible with all 2014-Present Infiniti Q70 models?
Are these brakes compatible with all 2014-Present Infiniti Q70 models?
Yes, the brakes are designed to be compatible with all 2014-Present Infiniti Q70 models, including both the 3.7L V6 and 5.6L V8 engine variants. They meet OEM specifications for rotor diameter, pad size, and caliper fitment. However, it’s always recommended to double-check your vehicle’s exact trim and year to ensure proper fitment, especially if aftermarket modifications have been made.
Q2 What is the recommended maintenance schedule for Infiniti Q70 brakes?
What is the recommended maintenance schedule for Infiniti Q70 brakes?
Infiniti recommends inspecting the brake system every 12,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first. Brake pads should be replaced when they reach 3mm thickness, and rotors should be resurfaced or replaced if they show signs of warping or scoring. Brake fluid should be flushed every 30,000 miles or 2 years to maintain optimal performance and safety.
Q3 How do I replace the brake pads on my Infiniti Q70?
How do I replace the brake pads on my Infiniti Q70?
To replace the brake pads, 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, reassemble the caliper, and reinstall the wheel. Ensure to test the brakes at low speed before driving normally.
Q4 Why are my Infiniti Q70 brakes making noise?
Why are my Infiniti Q70 brakes making noise?
Brake noise can result from worn pads, glazed rotors, or debris caught in the caliper. Inspect the pads for uneven wear and check the rotors for scoring. If the pads are thin or the rotors are damaged, replace them. Cleaning the brake components and applying brake grease to the back of the pads can also reduce noise.
Q5 How can I optimize the braking performance of my Infiniti Q70?
How can I optimize the braking performance of my Infiniti Q70?
To optimize braking performance, use high-quality brake pads and rotors designed for your Infiniti Q70. Ensure proper bedding-in of new pads by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Regularly check and maintain brake fluid levels, and upgrade to performance brake fluid if you drive aggressively or track your vehicle. Avoid overheating the brakes by using engine braking on steep descents.
