Front Brakes and Rotors

Post by PeterCS »

Trying to determine if my front rotors need replacing. Does anyone know the thickness when new and the minimum thickness?

Many thanks, PeterCS

it says in the owners manual, unfortunately, that's at home, 140 miles away! but if you have the owners manual just look in there :)

If its worn a lip at the outer edge then usually they need swapping.
