I hope you figure it out. I hate doing electrical stuff and I didn't even try to diagnose mine. Thinking I might have the same issue

OK after watching a few more videos, I have it fixed. I wish I could rename this thread to help other people with the same issue. When I installed the new master cylinder (s) I did not check the length of the booster pushrod. When I replaced the first one I never checked it and it worked fine...

Sorry but I claimed success too quickly. With everything I did the vibrations are much less, but my brakes are still dragging. I took a long drive today and it seems to get more noticeable after it warms up. The fronts are hot and they have fresh brake dust. Since the fronts engage first this...

Success! At least I think so. I replaced the flex lines today and took it out on the highway. No violent shaking like before, so for the most part I think it is fixed. I am however having some doubts, I notice a mild vibration when driving normal. It may just be the age of the car, or it may be...

Yes I did, and mine does not have a LSPV. It is a 4wd w/ABS. In fact I bleed them 3x now. Once for the master cylinder, once for the calipers and once again for the replacement master cylinder. I'll do it one more time today for the new flex lines.

I finally got another master cylinder, it would not bench bleed properly. So I found out Aisin has a subsidiary called Advics that produces brake parts for the aftermarket. It was about $140, much cheaper than buying through Toyota. It has the exact same markings on it as the original. So I got...

Hi Charlie, Yes I thought about that too. I replaced those a while back with I believe a higher end set of flex lines than stock. I got them from Wheeler's Off-Road. They are at least a nice red color! :-) I was thinking that if they were blocked, the fluid would be blocked in both directions...

I just installed the new rotors. While doing it i had a real problem backing the brake fluid back into the master cylinder. The pistons moved freely, it was just when pushing on all four it would not budge. I am now thinking this is my problem. I still get front brake drag as it does not release...

Sparky, Yes i did have the driver's side brake over adjusted. I didn't know how to fix it until I saw a short video from Timmy the Toolman. So I stuck a screwdriver in the back slot to move the adjusting plate out of the way and was able to loosen this brake. The wheels all seem to spin freely...

Still vibrating and dragging So I replaced the CV axles, and instead of removing the drive shaft, I took someones advice and removed the zerk fittings and drove around a bit. No grease came out of the front and a little came out of the rear. So i think I eliminated the drive shaft as a concern...

I've been waiting to do mine until I got motivation. I may go with Whiteline now. Plus my Energy Suspension bushing need to use the old sleeve that you have to grind out which I was not pleased with. Why couldn't the provide a new sleeve I don't know.

So I swapped brake calipers today, because they needed it. Then I could road test it on the highway. I still have the shakes. It started around 70 and then slowing down it still shook. I guess I am going to try swapping the CV axles. There is a bit of up and down play. Although I really think I...

I have a 96 SR5 4x4 with around 322K miles I just did: U&L ball joints, rear axle seals, fluid replacement on F&R Diff, transfer case, oil change, and for the 1st time ever greased the u-joints and drive shaft yokes, then got an alignment After doing all that, specifically greasing the drive...

Size of the hog rings? OK I want to do it, with the hog rings. What size are they? I see 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch on Amazon. Thanks!

Hate to tell you what the problem was. I must have hit the button by mistake and did not realize it. I took it to a field and it engages properly in 4-low. I guess my 4X4 light on the dash is out. I probably can live without the light. Thanks again
