brakes

Helping a buddy list up his '86 FJ60 he started parting out locally but needs it gone. Despite being in Arizona now it's originally from New England and has an unusable frame. The body has some usable stuff, there's some decent interior parts, tailgate is nice, doors are pretty good, rocker...

Hey guys, how many miles before you needed a brake job? Do you always change the rotors? Did you do the front and back at the same time? Thanks, Carl

Hi All, I recently returned from a 6 day deployment to the Gulf Coast with my volunteer search and rescue team (Texas Search and Rescue - TEXSAR), and have discovered smoke and a burning smell now coming out of the rear driver-side wheel area after driving. We deployed to Corpus Christi the day...

SoCal $550 including brakes, drag link and tie rod. Still in the car. Car will be on Jackstands. You will be pulling it. NO shipping. You can have the lower control arms too! I am not parting this axle out. If you need front parts, I also have the following: Hubs, Spindles, Axle Shafts...

SoCal Pulled the third out and it is in another car now. If you need spare parts, shafts, brake drums, or whatever, send me a message. I can usually ship same day.

Where is the best place to score all the brake lines to redo my 80? one per tire and others that go to axles?

Sorry for cross-posting, but I posted to the SQOD but didn't get any responses, and I'm trying to figure out an answer today. Tough Dog 2" lift completed yesterday. I have yet to get an alignment done. (it's scheduled for Tuesday) My mechanic's helper tore the CV boot when helping to pry out...

Ok did the rear rotors yesterday and Im starting birfileds tomorrow my question is where can I get the brake lines that go from caliper to axle all 4 of them .

Hello guys! I am looking to do a disc brake conversion on the front brakes of my 1973 FJ40. I've never done a disc brake conversion before. Where should I go for a conversion kit? (Everything included). What do you recommend if you've ever done one? Thanks in advance!

I have a 2016 Land Cruiser that experienced brake pulsing not felt through the pedal. While driving it on the interstate brakes are used to maintain intervals with traffic. This is when the whole vehicle would vibrate under a light load on the pedal. It was noticeable in the seat of the pants...

Taking alternate theories as to why my brakes are dragging? My shop accidentally put contaminated fluid in my brakes a month or so ago and its been a nightmare getting it right again. They eventually replaced my calipers, ABS module LSPV and Master cylinder and cleaned and flushed the lines...

Well, I went to replace my rear brake pads and rotors last night. I've got problems with noise and I think some friction when not pushing the pedal. The noise is a cyclical sound that picks up after about 5mph. It sounds like "shick shick shick shick", and speeds up/down with the vehicle speed...

Found this vehicle online, 1 1/2 hours away. No pics yet, talked to the salesman - fairly clean. But brakes are not working correctly. My daughter is able to look at it later today for me. Her husband is mechanically inclined. I have a '97, not new to cruisers. Looking for newer style, '97...

Any recommendations for best bang for buck brake booster upgrade? currently running OEM booster (i think) but running a front axle/disc conversion (poss 60series). About to do a frame off to sort the chassis and keen to improve brakes if poss. Any recommendations?

The brakes on my 2002 LX470 feel like they are grabbing or sticky . Just started a few days ago - before that they felt normal. Any ideas???

Is this just tediously difficult or am I doing something wrong. PO installed all cylinders on the wrong side - to tighten the cylinders I would start with the screwdriver angled away from the center of the wheel. I always adjusted with a screwdriver. I blew a cylinder, and decided to replace...

Driving home from work today when my brake pedal hit the floor with no resistance as was coming up to a red light. Fortunately I was able to swing into a different lane and slow down before the light. Managed to get home (last half mile safely. Checked my fluid and it was right on the...

I'm trying to resolve a myriad of braking problems with my '86 which has been holding me back from driving it more. One item I can't figure out, is that when I pump the brakes at idle, the engine RPM's drop to ~400, nearly stalling the engine. Any ideas what might be going on?

No one seems to have a clear, definitive answer for this: front left brake on my 1998 LX470 rattles like crazy. It rattles over ever single bump unless I've depressed the brake pedal. Now, here's the question...and I've gotten different answers thru google, forum search, the local LC...
