Brake System Inspection
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and
hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors
for surface condition. Also inspect drum brake linings
for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including
drums, wheel cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc. The
parking brake is self-adjusting and no manual
adjustment is required.
You
may need
to
have your
brakes inspected more often if your driving habits or
conditions result
in
frequent braking.
CaliperKnuckle Maintenance Inspection
If you operate your vehicle in
a
highly corrosive
environment, as indicated by the shaded areas on the
map following this text, your vehicle may require
additional brake service. Refer to the appropriate
GM
Service Bulletin for
the
proper front caliper
inspection procedure. As necessary, front caliper pins
and knuckle brake pad abutments should be lubricated
at every other tire rotation.
Also,
see your
GM
dealer’s
service department or qualified service center for
additional information.
