What is the role of brake discs and pads on a Mitsubishi Galant?

When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure pushes the brake caliper pistons, which press the brake pads against the rotating discs. Through friction, kinetic energy is converted into heat, slowing the vehicle.

When should you change the Mitsubishi Galant front brake discs?

Brake discs should be measured with a micrometer; if below minimum thickness stamped on the disc, replacement is mandatory. Discs typically last 60,000–80,000 km. Always replace discs in pairs.

Why change discs and pads together on the Mitsubishi Galant?

It is strongly recommended to change discs and pads together to ensure optimal braking performance. New pads on worn discs will not bed in properly, leading to reduced braking efficiency, noise, and uneven wear.

Is it difficult to change Mitsubishi Galant front brake discs and pads?

Difficulty level 2/5: technically easy. Key steps: raise the vehicle, remove the wheel, unbolt the caliper and bracket, slide off the old disc, clean the hub face, fit the new disc, refit the bracket and caliper with new pads. Pump the brake pedal before driving.
