The "Minimum" thickness is used when you replace pads: if the measured rotor thickness at the points of pad contact is less than this number, replace the rotor. In the following chart, the "Absolute Minimum" thickness is the thickness at which replacement is mandatory. See the type chart for guidance on matching the rotor to the caliper (one or two pistons) Note that they do not mention 10.25 inch diameter rotors which were fitted to a number of Girling-equipped cars. The data in the two tables below are courtesy of VolvoCars and RPR a retailer of Volvo aftermarket parts. The only sure test is to measure the diameter and thickness or look for a stamping showing the diameter on the hub and order the corresponding replacement from a knowledgeable parts department. Be very careful when replacing the rotors.

In addition, early 700 series may have been converted to two-piece hub and rotor configurations or to later "jumbo" rotors.
Volvo 700/900 series brakes came in a number of configurations: one-piece hub and rotor versus separate rotor and hub solid versus ventilated rotors various calipers for ABS and non-ABS various rotor diameters and thicknesses.

Finally, your minimum permissable pad thickness, when you are checking pads, is 3 millimeters per Volvo specs for the front pads and 2 millimeters for the rear. Make sure you know what hub/rotor you have. Rotor size matters.the 11.25 in rotor works on Girling and Bendix brakes with separate rotor/hub. The Girling pads have a single big tab with a post on it and the anti-vibration spring wound around the post. The Bendix pads have two tabs on the outer edge of the backing plate, some versions quite large, about 3/8 in by 3/16 in with a round cylinder welded/brazed on each tab, others with two vestigial nubs.both types come with slightly different anti-vibration springs so don't mix them.
#Bendix abs too how to
Does anyone know which type I would need or how to tell Bendix from Girling? When I went to get a set of front disc brake pads for my 740t there were two types listed. You can measure the diameter of the piston when the pads are removed or measure the imprint on the back of the steel shim plate.
Often the markings are obliterated due to rust or mechanical damage. Note that the rear calipers came with three piston sizes: 36mm, 38mm and 40mm, stamped on the caliper- see the photo. Can anyone tell me what kind of brakes they are, given such weak info? Now the bonus point question.what would the Volvo P/N's be for the pads? (Not that I would necessarily use Volvo pads. Peeking through the rim, I see the capital letter "A" in sort of an Italic script, followed by a couple more smaller characters that I can't make out, cast onto the caliper. I'm close to needing rear brake pads on my wife's 90 740. If you have the converted ('88+) design, the pads will have the added spring pins ( REPCO 1169 picture below). The quick way to tell the difference: if you have the one-piece (original '86) design, your pads will have flat tabs at the top ( REPCO 536 picture below). If so, you'll have to order pads for an '88+ to fit. When I bought my '86 (used), it had been converted. Take special note, if you determine that you have Bendix calipers on your pre-1987 700, whether the two-piece hub/rotor conversion was performed on your car. two slots):īendix caliper is in the left photo, Girling in the right. The best way to identify front calipers is to look thru the wheel for a large iron bridge that reinforces the caliper body (with a slot on either side i.e. The following codes apply:ĪTE calipers are ONLY used on rear wheels. Go to position "E" (end of the second line on the right).
Refer to the product plate (located above passenger front headlight or in the trunk or door jamb). Does anyone know if there is a way to tell which of the two caliper types (ATE or Girling) my 740 GLE is using without removing the wheels? Prior to working on the brakes, carefully identify which components you have so that you can acquire the correct parts. Volvo 700 cars use a variety of calipers, rotors, and pads on the front hubs.
