Much thanks to this Forum and @2001LC with the answer to many questions. My advice that might help someone is if your car has sitting in your driveway for extended time while you are diagnosing, waiting for parts, and installing, etc. and upon install the new unit you may want to make sure that...

I had to change my answer. I never lost brakes while driving but at 572,000 the screeching and lights came on in the driveway, not much warning but it was preceded by an incident where a shop but in non-Toyota brake fluid and over-filled the reservoir and it looks like it overflowed. So that...

Perfect, got it all buttoned up bled, and did the hard stops on some wet and gravel roads. After 40 brake pump and the key on motor stopped at 30 seconds. Do I need to bleed again after the hard stops activating the ABS?

My flare nut turned out to be completely fine, I got a new flare nut and just to make it was the right size attempted to put in the master cylinder (drivers side port), it would not go in. I got a M10x1.00" tap and die set. Put the thread chaser on my flare nut, spun on just fine, nothing wrong...

Alright, I was almost done installing the new abs master cylinder unit and the threads on the flare nut of the brake line that goes to the far drivers side port of the M/C are messed up, it wont go in straight and pops out. Was thinking of just cutting it at the flare putting a new nut and...

I'm wondering though considering the truck is nearly 600,000 and I'm not sure the master cylinder has ever been changed if I should just change the master cylinder assembly anyways since it screeched and if I still have alarms/electrical issues anyways, then I'll tow it somewhere? and at least...

O every year I make off like a bandit, I cant believe they havent canceled me.

Richmond is 96 miles....which is just under the AAA limit. @matzell, you got an open bay?

Yeah, just not sure if its a bad abs sensor thats throwing everything off or its the abs unit or relays or if its the high pressure switch.

Having some potentially electrical issues with my brake master cylinder on 1999 Landcruiser. Anyone have a good recommendation of a place that could do some electrical trouble shooting anywhere from Charlottesville-Staunton-Harrisonburg? New master cylinder is $1,300--willing to do it but I'll...

Ok, so I'm have having issues with brake master cylinder but its seems slightly different than what I've in the threads and almost like I have of an electrical issue maybe that may or may not be solved by replacing the whole master cylinder. (for context its a 1999 LC with 572,000 miles) This...

Good idea on the LCA brackets. Ok, so to throw a wrench in this I replaced the Drivers side CV axle thinking that was the culprit of the clicking. I took it for a long test BUT I am still getting a puttering clicky noise from about 5-25mph (so I thought, ok maybe the other CV is clicking and I...

I just crossed 580,000 miles and everything feels pretty good so I'm probably just not going to worry about it and see what happens. The only that would worry me the bearings so I may just check that the lock washers/nut is still in place and move on.

So I'm resurrecting this old thread. I recently broke my lower control arm in a way I've not seen anyone else do. The metal around the second short bolt for the torsion stretched and broke. the torsion bar was not lifting the drivers side front much at all and I was hearing noises and found the...

Just broke my 17630-16040 right before a trip, @wpod did this work? I'm tempted to try as there's probably no way I can get this part same day from the dealer. Of course i may stripped the union bolt too, so i might be screwed either way.
