BRAKE INSPECTION
WARNING
Do not apply WD-40® or any petroleum product to brake discs. These types of
products are flammable and may also reduce the friction between the brake
pad and caliper.
1. Check the brake system for fluid
leaks.
2. Check the brake pedal for
excessive travel or a spongy
feel.
3. Check the friction pads for wear,
damage and looseness.
4. Check brake discs for signs of
cracks, excessive corrosion,
warping or other damage. Clean
any grease using an approved
brake cleaner or alcohol.
5. Inspect the brake disc spline and
pad wear surface
q
for
excessive wear. Change pads
when worn to 0.040 in (1 mm).
STEERING WHEEL INSPECTION
Check the steering wheel for specified freeplay and smooth operation at the
intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart section.
1. Position the vehicle on level ground.
2. Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right.
3. There should be 0.8-1.0 in (20-25 mm) of freeplay.
4. If there is excessive freeplay or strange noises, or the steering feels rough or
“catchy,” have the steering system inspected by an authorized dealer.
