Properly torqued wheel nuts are necessary to help
prevent brake pulsation. When tires are rotated, inspect
brake pads for wear and evenly tighten wheel nuts in
the proper sequence to torque specifications in
Capacities and Specifications on page 351.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete
axle sets.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer/retailer if the brake pedal does not
return to normal height, or if there is a rapid increase in
pedal travel. This could be a sign that brake service
might be required.
Brake Adjustment
Every time you apply the brakes, with or without the
vehicle moving, the brakes adjust for wear.
Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a vehicle is complex. Its many
parts have to be of top quality and work well together if
the vehicle is to have really good braking. Your
vehicle was designed and tested with top-quality brake
parts. When you replace parts of the braking system
— for example, when the brake linings wear down and
you need new ones put in — be sure you get new
approved replacement parts. If you do not, the brakes
might not work properly. For example, if someone
puts in brake linings that are wrong for your vehicle, the

balance between the front and rear brakes can change
— for the worse. The braking performance you have
come to expect can change in many other ways if
someone puts in the wrong replacement brake parts.
