Lexus recommends inspecting brake pads, rotors, and fluid every 10,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first. Replace brake pads when thickness is below 3mm and rotors if they show signs of warping or scoring. Brake fluid should be flushed every 30,000 miles or as specified in your owner’s manual to maintain optimal performance.
Q3 How do I replace the brakes on a 2020-Present Lexus RX?
How do I replace the brakes on a 2020-Present Lexus RX?
To replace the brakes, first, lift the vehicle and remove the wheels. Unbolt the caliper and hang it safely. Remove the old brake pads and inspect the rotor. If necessary, replace the rotor and install new pads. Reattach the caliper, ensuring proper alignment. Torque all bolts to manufacturer specifications and test drive to ensure proper function.
Q4 What should I do if my Lexus RX brakes are squeaking or vibrating?
What should I do if my Lexus RX brakes are squeaking or vibrating?
Squeaking or vibrating brakes often indicate worn pads, warped rotors, or debris buildup. Inspect the pads and rotors for damage or uneven wear. Clean the brake components and apply anti-squeal compound to the back of the pads. If issues persist, replace the affected parts and ensure proper installation.
