Nissan Maxima Brake Job Tips
Called the four-door sports car by Nissan, the 2004-2008 Maxima brake system is easy to service with very few complaints of brake noise or pulsation. The system used the same brake pads, rotors and calipers on all models. There were some changes in 2007 to the ABS system.
Solving Brake Noise With the Right Brake Pad and Shim
When a brake pad makes contact with the rotor, it causes the brake pad and rotor to vibrate. This is “ground zero” for all brake noise. If the vibration is transmitted through the brake pad’s backing plate and into the caliper and bracket, this could generate noise the driver could hear if the frequency is between 20- and 20,000-Hz.
Brake Caliper Service
Brake calipers are a key component in a disc brake system. The calipers use hydraulic muscle to squeeze the brake pads against the rotors. The clamping force creates friction between the pads and rotor that slows the vehicle and brings it to a halt. If a caliper is leaking or sticking, however, it may not apply the brakes properly.
