Yes because as started I do not see myself owning this vehicle in the very near future. If the booster goes out, the brake system still functions. There is a thread from 2023 of a couple people using the same booster saying they will reply to the thread and update when this booster gives out on...

Figured I’d make a post in regards to this brake booster off Amazon / eBay. I only saw one other forum thread about it and he said it lasted him and was a good deal. Figured I’d give it a shot. Monday after work, on the way home, my brake booster went out. Mega hard and solid pedal, was still...

Hey guys so I actually figured out the issue. My brake booster was failing apparently lol causing a mushy pedal. It was a bendix unit. Context - my brake booster failed on Monday on the way home from work. Yea super solid brakes, clearly no air in the system lol. New brake booster arrived...

godbless you

hey not to revive an old thread, but i am as blind as a bat and cannot find this resource section. could you post the link here please? I would like to cross reference some wiring schematics from an official toyota book compared to ProDemand

Dang, I guess i deserve the criticism. We use dorman religiously at my job with no issues, but then again my job is "buy the parts for as cheap as possible and get the vehicle tf outta the shop asap" I tried the grease the bleed fitting threads and have not had any issues since, been daily...

Thank you! Yea I got it aligned, no issues there, been daily driving it the last couple days with zero issues except for a pesky rear turn signal. Ive been doing some digging on these forums, going to chase the issue down this weekend. Replaced the bulb the other day and no success, even...

Yes they are part time hubs according to the PO. He said something about it being JDM spec, idk too much when it comes to 80 series quirks so Im just going with the flow lol

Good morning. I’ll bleed the brakes and the pedal will feel hard and normal. I’ll go on a test drive and after braking twice, the pedal will go soft. As of there is air in the system. And I go to bleed it again and there is air in the system. The brakes will engage on the test drive, just the...

Good point to call out. I deleted it along with the ABS.

Thank you for the advice. Will do the grease on the bleeder threads next weekend when I tackle the project again. Never thought of this Yea I’ve never used a brake bleeding tool either. Tube and a jar and a second person at the pedal. Today I was very tempted to go and buy one off Amazon though

If this is the wrong away to post the pics I’m sorry lol. First time using this forum

Forgot to attach pictures!

Good afternoon, I’m curious if anyone else has ran into something similar. I have searched on these forums and have seen a couple threads on people having bleeding issues with their 80s. This last weekend I’ve changed out every rubber brake line, some of the hard lines, deleted ABS, rebuilt...

Good afternoon, Just doing as I’m told. Currently in a 97 LX450. Not triple locked, she’s got some rust on her, and 270k miles on her. Got her two weeks ago, bald stock size tires, non existent brake pads all around, leaky rear passenger caliper, alignment all over the place, and a non...
