Attempting to improve my LC100's weak brakes (1 Viewer)

[stokesdead]

I had an issue with my '99 Cruiser having poor braking performance so as a first step / baseline I flushed the system and changed out the fluid. This made a big improvement. I made a video about it and just wanted to share with some fellow Landcruiser enthusiasts. Now if you are hoping for an OTRAMM level of tech knowledge and experience, this ain't it, but hopefully it's at least slightly entertaining. Thanks for the opportunity to share!

I heard you mention spongy brakes, but did the brake pedal travel improve any?

Yes, the distance improved. I don't have to push the pedal as far before you start feeling the brakes engage. It still isn't as touch responsive as my 80 series. I will probably run some more fluid through the system when I replace the front rotors and pads. I am planning to either R&R the steering rack or at minimum it needs inner tie rods soon.
