Infiniti QX70 2014-2017 Brakes Specifications

These brakes are specifically designed for the 2014-2017 Infiniti QX70 models, including both base and S variants.

For precise compatibility, cross-check your VIN or consult the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal brake performance. Inspect brake pads every 12,000 miles or annually, and replace them if thickness is below 3mm. Rotors should be checked for wear and resurfacing every 25,000 miles. Brake fluid should be flushed every 30,000 miles or as per the vehicle’s manual. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for specific intervals and procedures.

To replace the brakes, first, secure the vehicle on a flat surface and remove the wheels. Unbolt the caliper and hang it safely to avoid damaging the brake line. Remove the old brake pads and inspect the rotors. If necessary, replace or resurface the rotors. Install the new brake pads, reassemble the caliper, and reattach the wheel. Torque all bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications and test the brakes before driving.

Unusual noises like squeaking or grinding often indicate worn brake pads or rotors. First, inspect the brake pads for wear and replace them if necessary. Check the rotors for warping or excessive wear and resurface or replace them. Ensure all components are properly lubricated and tightened. If the issue persists, inspect the brake calipers and lines for damage or misalignment.

To optimize brake performance, use high-quality brake pads and rotors designed for your vehicle. Ensure proper bedding-in of new brakes by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Regularly inspect and maintain brake components, including fluid levels and lines. Avoid aggressive driving and heavy braking to reduce wear. Consider upgrading to performance brake systems for enhanced stopping power.
