brake booster

Hi All Have a 2011 LC 200 with 118 K Miles on it. Wife was driving it today with our 4 young children. I happen to be on travel but got the emergency calls from her. Check VSC light, ABS light and ABS Beep Sound came on as she was driving downhill. It happened after our daughter waited in the...

After 35 years of ownership I find myself diving into the possibility of brake booster replacement. All the other braking components in the system, including the booster check valve, have been thoroughly assessed and the symptoms of a very stiff brake pedal resistance with increased stopping...

What is the valve under the master cylinder?

Hi all , Whilst on the hunt for a Landcruiser Cygnus (LX470) here in Indonesia, I noticed different looking brake master assembly on one of the cars I had shortlisted. To me it looks like the one from a 4Runner or 120 Prado (or GX470). I guess that after the OEM unit failed, the owner either...

Whilst I knoweth to be sacrilege to installeth non toyota parts on thine Land Cruiser, the 300% difference in price makes this a fair topic for revisiting. I just shelled out for a hvac system for the house and an unexpected ER visit, so the money tree has already been heavily pruned. I’m...

I've been around here for quite a while. Have not posted much lately - I'm 72 YOA and do not take the 1985 FJ60 out on the dirt much anymore. Main reason is my power brake booster is shot. So I came here tonight to try to get contact info for that guy with the Japanese sounding name who has a...

It seems the OEM booster for the early model HDJ has been discontinued. 4461060690 Has anyone fit another part number from another year? Partsouq does not list an alternate or aftermarket. Thanks, Clay

In my search for a decent 100 series, I ran in to a truck looks to have a different brake booster, see image. I was in the understandeing all 100 series came with a electric pump as a brake booster. But is anyone familiar with the option shown in the picture? Thanks,

Hi all On a quest for better brakes i'm looking at the Terrain Tamer booster: 4WD Heavy Duty Brake Booster: Rated #1 [2023] - Terrain Tamer - https://www.terraintamer.com/4wd-products/brake-catalogue/heavy-duty-brake-booster It claims 30% better braking, which is great, but I'm trying to...

This is second hand info from the wife so sorry for the lack of detail. As she was coasting to a stop on a flat surface at maybe 40mph with little pressure applied to the brakes, she said the car skidded as if on ice. It’s bone dry out here in Texas so you can rule out rain. There was no...

After a bit of research and I have shared all the Brake conversions and upgrades I have done to my 1983 FJ45 Troopy, and broken them up into 4 videos. I hope this can help anyone wanting to do the same Upgrades to there brakes, the stopping power is a fantastic improvement! Feel free to check...

I wanted to see if anyone else has seen a problem I’ve been experiencing. I have been chasing an issue for the past month with my 00 LX dieing randomly. At first it started showing signs of a miss-fire so a new denso coil pack, then a new CEL code popped up so a new O2 sensor on the same bank...

New City Racer Dual Diaphragm disk brake booster - in box - wilt new label also. "Brand new dual diaphragm brake booster for 10/'75 and later Land Cruiser FJ40, FJ45, FJ55, and BJ40 with disc brakes. Also works for: Any year FJ40 that has undergone a disc brake conversion. '81 to '87 FJ60...

Hello all, I have never posted before, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll post the TLDR in the first paragraph, and the subsequent paragraphs will be the full detail if anyone wants to know the entire story. I have a 2001 LC, all brake warning lights came on one day. The dealer...

Good morning! In my efforts to put my 02/1999 Elsie back on the road, I sourced a brake booster assembly to replace the bad one I took out 3-4 years ago, and even though it was for a "1999", it doesn't fit the bolt pattern on the firewall. The replacement booster has a bolt pattern of...

Hey all- '06 spongy pedal, slowly goes to the floor - no leaks on brake lines, or at calipers, and not losing fluid in reservoir. No screeching pump, ABS or VSC lights. I'm guessing master cylinder seal(s) leaking. I could only find a MC rebuild kit for the 03-04 years, so I bit the bullet...

Hi, I recently replaced the booster and the master cylinder and manually bled the brakes on my 87 FJ60. I dialed in the booster rod several times to get it right so the brakes don't grab when coasting to a stop and the pedal feel is good. After driving about 4 miles for an errand, I got back...

Hi all! Just wanted to share my solution when getting weak vacuum recovery on multiple brake applications. Especially when upgraded to a dual diaphragm brake booster. The solution is based on a standard vacuum pump and is using both vacuum chambers in the reservoir tank. It keeps the low...

2004 LC with 190K miles. Recently the "dying seagull" screeching sound is coming back. Based on the discussion on this forum, replacing the whole assembly is the only solution. If I read correctly, the screeching sound is caused by a deteriorated O-ring inside the master cylinder body. When it...

Hi all. Back again. At Xmas last year I had the ABS brake booster motor in my UZJ100 fail while away on holiday. I posted about that here: ABS warning light and audible alarm, brake failure soon after....possible easy fix to get you going In short, I cleaned out the motor, reinstalled it, and...
