Yes i figured that from what Mark said "If they can feel the knuckle housing move, rebuild it now." I guess what I'm asking is what parts, or bearings .... are the problem. Obvious i will replace them all but i am just trying to learn more about diagnosing the problem to help others and myself...

OK i did the test you suggested and there is movement between the wiper retainer and the ball. What does that tell us? it's the same on both wheels. its a 4/77 40. 30 spline and factory disk brakes

With my wheel off the ground i have a little movement when pulling on the top and bottom but not side to side. I pulled the outer wheel bearing, inspected, and reassembled, the same movement was still there. Would this indicate the trunion bearings are bad or lose? I was going to do a full...

rear soft lines were replaced rear hard lines across axel were replaced the other soft lines were in good shape. they look like there were replaced by PO. the other hard lines were not leaking so i didn't bother with them. was also thinking replacing the spring on the brake pedal with a...

i found a 3/8" NPT Inline Flow Control Valve that i could adjust to reduce the vacuum on the booster. less vacuum=less boost=more pedal resistance? any reason this wouldnt work or a bad idea? part link https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/78256856

forgot to add the calipers, on the front are stock that came on the truck the rears are monte carlos really i was just wanting to know if there was a proportioning valve that could be used on the booster vacuum. don't really want to start replacing new part that work. Thanks for any feedback

sorry it took so long to gert back to your questions, I do appreciate the help. the booster is a #53-2460 8.5" diameter (90's 4runner booster) the master is a Dorman M39996 New Brake Master Cylinder 1" bore

I just replaced/rebuilt my entire brake system except for some of the lines and converted the rear drums to disc. The new booster is a dual diaphragm and i think it my be working to good. There isn't much brake feel at all till 30-40% down but it is slowing down as soon as i touch the brake and...

Has anyone had a bedliner coating peel of over time or rust underneath? Assuming it was applied correctly.... I was going to do the same thing on the interior and undercoating, just worried it wouldn't last then have a mess to clean off.

@Brybrys1978 I installed the 191000-61180 dizzy (from cityracer) and used the "PerTronix 91662 Ignitor II Adaptive Dwell Control Toyota 6 cyl". I had to remove the dust cover under the cap but it fit and works fine. if you go to the pertronix site they have a search for dizzy model to tell you...

it was sitting for about 16-18 years and i don't know if the PO ever turned it over. The ring may have seized up and when i turned it over the first time may have weakened it? not sure yet, i'll post when it has been done.

here are the piston pics

the price was for tear down and reassembly. all machining and parts. its a small shop that has been around forever and these two guys have been doing this for 40 years or more I'm guessing. So he has seen all of the interior of the motor and found/priced the parts, so there shouldn't be any...

OK it's been awhile but i thought i would post an update. New Compression numbers Warm and dry with throttle open 1 - 134 2 - 127 3 - 128 4 - 130 5 - 106 6 - 133 Warm and wet with throttle open 1 - 149 2 - 137 3 - 139 4 - 149 5 - 121 6 - 149 The booster does appear to have a leak. i could not...
