Front disc brakes are not self-adjusting. It is important to regularly inspect and replace the brake pads on front disc brakes to ensure safe operation of the vehicle.

Front disc brakes are not self-adjusting.

Disc brakes work by using a caliper to squeeze brake pads against a rotor to slow down or stop the vehicle.

The brake pads wear down over time and need to be replaced.

However, the gap between the brake pads and the rotor remains constant, so front disc brakes do not have any self-adjusting mechanism.

If the brake pads wear down too much, it can lead to reduced braking performance and even brake failure.

Therefore, it is important to regularly inspect and replace the brake pads on front disc brakes to ensure safe operation of the vehicle.
