Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about torque specifications
Q1 Are these brakes compatible with all 2007-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer models?
Are these brakes compatible with all 2007-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer models?
These brakes are designed to be compatible with all 2007-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer models, including the DE, ES, GTS, and Ralliart trims. However, it is essential to verify specific compatibility based on your vehicle's trim and brake system type (e.g., standard or performance brakes). Always cross-check with the manufacturer's specifications or consult a certified technician to ensure proper fitment.
Q2 What is the recommended maintenance schedule for these brakes?
What is the recommended maintenance schedule for these brakes?
For optimal performance, inspect your brakes every 12,000 miles or at least once a year. Replace brake pads every 30,000-50,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. Rotors should be checked for wear and resurfaced or replaced as needed. Ensure brake fluid is flushed every 30,000 miles or as specified in your vehicle's manual. Regular maintenance helps prevent costly repairs and ensures safety.
Q3 How do I install or replace the brakes on my Mitsubishi Lancer?
How do I install or replace the brakes on my Mitsubishi Lancer?
To replace the brakes, first, lift the vehicle and remove the wheels. Unbolt the caliper and slide it off the rotor. Remove the old brake pads and inspect the rotor for wear. If necessary, replace or resurface the rotor. Install the new brake pads, reassemble the caliper, and reattach the wheel. Torque all bolts to the manufacturer's specifications. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for detailed instructions.
Q4 What should I do if my brakes are squeaking or vibrating?
What should I do if my brakes are squeaking or vibrating?
Squeaking or vibrating brakes often indicate worn pads, uneven rotors, or debris in the braking system. Inspect the brake pads and rotors for wear or damage. Clean the braking components to remove debris. If the issue persists, consider resurfacing or replacing the rotors and pads. For persistent vibrations, check the calipers and suspension components for proper function.
Q5 How can I optimize the performance of my Mitsubishi Lancer's brakes?
How can I optimize the performance of my Mitsubishi Lancer's brakes?
To optimize brake performance, use high-quality brake pads and rotors designed for your driving style (e.g., performance pads for aggressive driving). Ensure proper bedding-in of new brakes by following the manufacturer's instructions. Regularly inspect and maintain the braking system, including fluid levels and rotor condition. Avoid hard braking when possible to extend the life of your brake components.
