    Loud noises when turning and braking (1992)

    Hey all: I have an 80 series that I drive on occasion. When turning and braking at the same time (or just before/after braking) there's a loud noise coming from the truck. It sounds similar to worn down brake pads, but I've just had the brakes done. Tie rods have also been done recently, and...

    Hard brake pedal when braking

    I have a 97 LX450 with 295K miles. Yesterday morning I was backing out from the driveway and when I pushed brake pedal it became quite hard to push, but I was able to stop. Today the same thing happened when I was about to park the truck. I checked and had to ad a bit of brake fluid, but it...

    Braking Vibration at Higher Speeds

    On a recent trip in our 2020 LC I noticed a vibration in the steering wheel when coming down a mountain pass under moderate braking at +/-80mph. By moderate I mean approaching slower traffic and easing on the brakes to scrub some speed- nothing even close to a panic stop. The 200 is my...

    Braking System Components - Replace / Refresh

    95 LC here. I want to replace everything I can, refresh what I can't. Caliper assemblies and the brake lines that attach to them were replaced a few years ago with Centric rebuilds and new Centric lines. Rotors replaced as well. I now have a new booster and master cylinder sitting on a shelf...

    Pull to right when braking

    Hi guys, It's been awhile since I've been around since a new Sprinter van has been the obsession of my automotive ADD over the last year. But I'm back...and with a problem! Background: When I last left off with my LX, I had performed a brake job (in several stages over a couple of months)...

    Slow Speed Braking Pulse/Grab

    I'm experiencing an odd pulsing/grabbing when I slowly come to a stop. Like driving around a crowded parking lot. I don't feel it if I'm going faster than 15mph, but if I brake like you would when approaching a stop light, firmly at first and then as needed to come to a slow stop, it feels...

    VSC is Going Bananas & AHC is a Little Wonky...

    Long time 80 owner. I just acquired a free 2000 LX470 from my wife's uncle. I was driving it from Houston back home to CO. I had 3 instances on the highway, mostly going downhill at about 70mph just as my foot was grazing the brake pedal. The VSC light flashed, beeping, severe braking, engine...

    help with enabling 94 fzj80 Abs please

    I have a built fzj with added center diff lock button. I have searched the forums for a easy how to disable ABS, so I can do the reverse. Ideally I'd like to potentially have a switch so I can enable disable ABS while in Awd, but for now I just want to test it out. Why? I have read many...
