Default What is minimum thickness of rear rotors?
Hi,

I have a problem I have no idea how to solve. I'm not car savvy but some parts of this story does not make any sense to me. I have Toyota Highlander 2004 Limited Edition, 6 cylenders.
I went to local Firestone and they printed out that rear rotors shall be replaced at 0.390 inch (9.9 mm). I went to Meineke and they printed out that rear rotors are 0.394 for standard thickness and 0.335 for minimum. This 2 measuremenets does not make any sense to me since according to Firestone minimum thickness is almost equal to standard thickness provided in Meineke.
Meineke is using AllData as source and Firestone I beleive is using something called Mitchum as source.
I also called dealership trying to find out which standard thickness rotors come from factory with but they were unable to provide this information.
Can somebody informed explain me this situation?


Greg
