What is the legal limit on brake discs?
What is the legal limit on brake discs?
approximately three millimetres
Grinding – Once the material on brake pads becomes dangerously worn a grinding sound can be heard on depression of the brake. The legal limit for brake pads is approximately three millimetres. Anything less than this will expose the metal sensor making contact with the brake disc.
What’s the minimum thickness for a disc brake?
Disc Brake Rotor Minimum Thickness (also known as Scrap Thickness) is the minimum safe working thickness of a rotor at which it must be replaced. Risk: Continued operation at or below Rotor Minimum Thickness can lead to Brake system failure. As the rotor reaches its minimum thickness, the braking distance increases, sometimes up to 4 meters.
What’s the rotor thickness on a 1973 Chevy C10?
We hope this helps you figure out what your rotor thickness is when you go to lower your 1973-1987 Chevy & GMC C10 & R10 or your 1988-1998 Chevy C1500 Or GMC C1500! As always feel free to call us or live chat us ANYTIME for more help!
How do you determine the thickness of a rotor?
We have you check and make that selection to ensure you do not have a rotor that will not fit on your spindle (usually discovered when you are neck deep in the install, probably on the weekend five beers deep)! The correct way to determine your rotor thickness is to measure the rotor between the brake pad surfaces (see picture below).
What’s the difference between DTV and disc thickness?
Disc Thickness Variation, DTV is a variation in thickness of the disc rotor braking surfaces as it rotates on the axle… Remind your customers of the importance of regular brake inspections. Most drivers will only have their brakes inspected when they run…
Disc Brake Rotor Minimum Thickness (also known as Scrap Thickness) is the minimum safe working thickness of a rotor at which it must be replaced. Risk: Continued operation at or below Rotor Minimum Thickness can lead to Brake system failure. As the rotor reaches its minimum thickness, the braking distance increases, sometimes up to 4 meters.
What’s the minimum rotor thickness for a Chevy Silverado?
Rotor Thickness (new): 0.787 in. Rotor Maximum Allowable Thickness Variation: 0.0007 in. The minimum thickness should be cast right into the area around the rotor hat. Can be hard to read if they get rusty. These trucks have a special coating on the rotors to make them last longer (google “GM FNC”).

Where can I find the minimum rotor thickness?
Engraved on the side of your rotor you can find the minimum operational thickness. To accurately measure against the minimum thickness use a micrometer at the thinnest point on the surface of the rotor where it meets the pads.
