Rotor thickness pads minimum - 2008 Lexus Rx 350

One place says, "The minimum thickness allowed for a disc brake pad is approximately one millimeter. A brake pad's standard thickness is between 10 and 12 millimeters. Because disc brake pads and rotors are vehicle parts that will wear down, it is important to inspect and replace these items when necessary." I think you may like this site: https://www.google.com/search?q=brake+pad+thickness,+1988+vmax+1200&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiQjZH7moLTAhVJLmMKHXALAaoQsAQIGQ&biw=856&bih=4

Most rotors won't make it past one set of pads for thickness. If they are smooth and not warp(pedal or steering wheel shakes when braking), Reuse them. Using this theory you can get up to 3 sets of pads off the rotors. The minimum thickness is stamped on the edge of the rotors.

Auto Parts Stores have books for that spec

I don't know the min thickness, but I have an outback just like yours and if there is a problem with uneven rotors it's usually cheaper and easier to buy aftermarket at NAPA auto or other supplier (shop around) and trash the old rotors. If the rotors can be turned then keep them for the next brake job and use them then. Outbacks are easy to do about 30 min a side rotor and pads after the wheel is off, just did mine.

The minimum rotor specs is stamped on the rotor and is different with each manufacture which sets the standard. Measure the thickness with a micro-meter. Replace the rotor if it is below or near the minimum or has been grooved by worn pads.

Your rotors should be fine but it also depends on who turned the rotors and how they were done.Considering the dealer replaced the pads they probably used a metallic pad which have been known to be a noisy .Id suggest you have a repair shop resurface your rotors again and install some ceramic brake pads.

its the brake pad wear indicator telling you your pads are in need of replacing

there is many kind of brake system of ur truck here i will send u everything about the brake and i hope its help

* All brake rotors have a discard dimension cast into them. Replace any rotor that does not meet this Specification. After refinishing the rotor, replace any rotor that does not meet the minimum or discard thickness specifications.
