brakes

Hey folks! New to this part of ih8mud. I'm usually just in the 80 series forum. Recently launched a matched front and rear big brake system for the 80 series and have had quite significant queries from people about developing a package for the 100 platform. Trying to gauge the amount and level...

I have replaced the front calipers and pads, the rear wheel cylinders, and the master cyclinder. The brake lines were replaced with stainless braided lines prior to my ownership. The booster is still original. What is happening is on the first push of the brake pedal it goes right to the floor...

Good afternoon all, Im having an issue with my Brake Warning Light being illuminated until the car is either warmed up or driven, which will cause the warning lamp to turn off. The brake warning light is the only light on the dash, and the car has no active codes. So far I have done/diagnosed...

My 97 brakes work fine, but feel really soft — meaning the pedal has quite a bit of travel before I feel pressure. Also if I pump the pedal it does get harder and has a better feel. I have replaced brake lines with Slee SS lines, replaced the brake booster (OEM) and cylinders, rotors and pads...

Does anyone have a recommendation on a reputable shop or individual who can install new brake lines on a 1969 FJ40? I live in Southern California. Thanks

Hello, I was recently replacing my rear caliper slide pins. I had to take a brake as my calipers were messed up and had to order news ones. Going back to it I don’t remember which hole the slide pin with the rubber piece goes. Does it matter which hole or position it is in? I’m worried it’ll get...

Take offs from a 2006 LX 470. Front Calipers - Original Lexus 4-piston. Front Rotors - EBC dimpled, slotted ventilated rotor discs. Front Brake Pads - OEM Lexus pads 95% life. Rear Calipers - Original Lexus 2-piston. Rear Rotors - Original Lexus OEM rotor discs. Rear Brake Pads - OEM Lexus pads...

As background, about a year ago my front passenger brake caliper came off completely while braking/exiting the highway. Grinded the inner wheel a bit, but otherwise no major issues. I re-installed the caliper with appropriately torqued new bolts and have gone on multiple trips since then...

I have attached some photos of my 80 series - Turbo Diesel - and a bit of the journey I've been on. My mechanic and I found the listing for this car on Facebook marketplace. It had been in an accident and the front transaxle was severely bent, and the axle shafts broken. We retrieved the car...

Hello all, I did some searching and couldn't find a similar post. I just re-torqued my front wheel bearings per the FSM. Drives great, feels smooth as always. But now when breaking on a downhill, as I pass from like 20 down to 10 mph, I am getting this weird groaning and subtle vibration from...

Recent GX460 owner, 2012 model. Noticed the brakes are relatively weak, requires early braking, and foot completely to the floor to keep it from rolling. Rotors, pads, and tires are good. Plan to inspect fluid and potentially swap. However, was curious if this was normal for a 2012 GX? I...

Paid my mobile mechanic to do a rear brake job for me. He's usually very Dilligent. Part of getting it ready for regular driving. Now that I've been driving it more, when I slam on the brakes the rear passenger locks up way before the others... Honestly before I fell like I'm really braking...

When I bought my 02 LX470, it came without the stock hydro brake booster assembly. I purchased a new assembly to install and am trying to get it bolted in and bled over the weekend. I think(?) the 2 ports on the front of it that point towards the battery are for the front, and the two that...

I have been plagued with weak brakes. I have to jam the pedal super hard to stop and I can’t stop fast enough to get the ABS to ever activate. (Can’t remove it by law here). What have I checked: 1. Brake booster seems to work and pulls a vacuum. 2. Replaced master cylinder and bench bleed it...

Got the wrong rotors for my 80 Series due to bad information in the on-line Toyota parts catalogs... I've had them in storage for about a year. :bang: Brand new OEM. $120 shipped for the set. Would love to find a good home for them.

I've been trying to install an entirely new brake system in my 1981 bj42 (canadian). I've replaced all brake lines, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, calipers, etc. But never came across any kind of promotioning valve. I'm thinking the PO may have removed it, or that it just never came with one...

'24 LX600 annoying brake squeak since the day i picked it up. Thought it would work its' way out but after 2k miles just took it into Lexus. Dealer revoved front+rear pads, cleaned the hardware + caliber, lubed shims, kept it overnight, did a road test on the highway to get the brakes hot, no...

So a while ago I got my front calipers, brake pads and rotors replaced on my 1996 80, but have just noticed that a small part of the brake pad is sitting outside the brake rotor (as shown in the attached photos). The rotors are 311mm which is the correct size and brake pads are for "90-"98...

Howdy Friends, Its time for a brake job on the 40. Front brakes keep locking up. I am thinking the calipers may be compromised but also curious to know your thoughts on other culprits? I have been told that I have a FJ60 front axle. What is the best route to go on replacement...

It’s runs drives but no brakes expect ebrake has a lot of good parts wanting to sell whole at this time. No title $1550 obo
