Mitsubishi Mitsubishi 3000GT 1994-2001 Brakes Specifications

Brake parts for the 1994-2001 Mitsubishi 3000GT are specifically designed for this model and its variants, including the VR-4, SL, and Base models. While some components may share similarities with other Mitsubishi vehicles, compatibility is not guaranteed. Always verify part numbers and specifications using the vehicle’s VIN or a trusted parts catalog to ensure proper fitment and performance.

For optimal performance, inspect brake pads and rotors every 12,000 miles or annually. Replace brake pads when thickness is below 3mm. Rotors should be checked for warping or scoring and replaced or resurfaced as needed. Brake fluid should be flushed every 30,000 miles or two years. Regularly inspect brake lines for leaks or damage. Adhering to this schedule ensures safety and extends brake system lifespan.

To replace brake pads, lift the vehicle and remove the wheels. Locate the brake caliper and remove its bolts using a wrench. Slide the caliper off the rotor and remove the old pads. Compress the caliper piston using a C-clamp. Install new pads, reassemble the caliper, and reattach the wheels. Test the brakes before driving to ensure proper installation and functionality.

Squeaking or grinding noises often indicate worn brake pads or damaged rotors. Inspect the pads for wear and replace if necessary. Check rotors for scoring or warping and resurface or replace them. Ensure all components are properly lubricated, especially the caliper slide pins. If noise persists, inspect the brake hardware and ensure proper installation of all parts.

To enhance braking performance, upgrade to high-performance brake pads and slotted or drilled rotors for better heat dissipation. Use high-quality brake fluid with a higher boiling point. Ensure proper bedding of new pads and rotors by following manufacturer guidelines. Regularly inspect and maintain the brake system, including calipers and lines, for optimal performance and safety.
