Brake System Inspection
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and
hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors
for surface condition. Also inspect drum brake linings
for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including
drums, wheel cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc.
Check parking brake adjustment. You may need to have
your brakes inspected more often if your driving habits
or conditions result in frequent braking.
CalipedKnuckle Maintenance Inspection
If
you operate your vehicle in a highly corrosive
environment, as indicated by the shaded areas on the map
following this text, your vehicle may require additional
brake service. Refer to the appropriate
GM
Service
Bulletin for the proper caliper inspection procedure. As
necessary, caliper pins and knuckle brake pad abutments
should be lubricated at every other tire rotation. Also, see
your
GM
retailer’s service department or qualified
service center for additional information.
