Hey all,
just figured I'd see if anyone else had an issue because I didn't find much else. I have a 93 LJ78 Prado and just the other day it felt sluggish driving home, EGT's were a little higher as well. Got home and the Right rear tire smells like burning brakes. Jacked up the rear and it spins fine. Pads have plenty left on them and it doesn't sound like anything is rubbing.
I drove to work and again it was smelling like fried E brake. The wheel was hot to the touch. There is a shop next door so I dropped it off with them. They had it checked out and called me at the end of the day to say they found nothing wrong with it, their tech said it seems to be perfectly fine. I drove home and you guessed it, R rear is smelling like burnt brakes, and the wheel is hot.
Any suggestions? I'm also a noob with 70s series. I just picked this up about a month ago.
