Notes: OEM parts recommended. There are two TSBs related to this vehicle regarding the disc brake system. One requires modification to the disc brake pads so they don't wear unevenly.
The second involves brake pulsation/vibration (if present).
Subaru states:
Studies confirm that rarely is it necessary to resurface Brake Rotors and/or Drums on all four wheels when a confirmed brake vibration exists. With proper diagnostics, front or rear brake vibrations can be isolated eliminating the need to resurface all four rotors and/or rear brake drums.
The above TSB should be taken into consideration if it can save money on machine work, as many repair centers will just state that you need to machine both front and rear disc brake rotors. |
