X3 Did the 199mm upgrade last Sat....didnt event open the box. You will be fine.

So, I figured that I would go ahead and spend some extra cash on all new calipers/pads (S13WE) and rotors. I did the 199mm Tundra brake upgrade. Buy once, cry once. It actually wasnt too expensive. Got all the parts at Napa and it ran $360 for everything once I returned my cores to them...

I did not notice any fluid leaking out of the lines... I just got back from taking the pads out and noticed a little bit of fluid on them. I had a buddy pump the brakes while I watched the pistons in the caliper and noticed that the lower inside piston wasnt moving. I had my buddy pump the...

Yes the "Brake!" indicator light comes on when the ebrake is off, Indicating that the brake fluid is low. That's how I knew I had a problem the second time. I did tighten the brake line back into the caliper. This morning I noticed that there was a small puddle of fluid inside the wheel. So...

So...the other day driving down Little Cottonwood Canyon from work my "Brake!" light came on the dash. I thought this might be normal because I have been working up at Snowbird the last few months and driving down everyday would cause pads/rotors to ware. I got a bottle of brake fluid and...

I check the cat shield, its not loose or making any noise when I hit it. Also, checked my spare tire too, thats snug. Still making noise...not sure where to go from here. I guess Ill deal with it until it really starts making noise all the time. Im sure when I head back to NH from SLC it'll...

I just got a call from the mechanic. He could not find anything wrong with the vehicle and nothing was making any noise or loose while he had it on the lift. He thinks its the road noise from the tires...Im not so sure because it's never done this before. I am having him change the diff/...

Thanks Alp. I will def check this out when I get home later today. I am somewhat thinking my issue is something else, I say this because my "MMMmmmm" sound is coming from the drivers side front, not the passengers side. RMD139 might want to check this out because he described his noise...

If it were a wheel bearing Im pretty sure you would hear it all the time. I also took my skid plates off the other day and took it for a ride. The noise was still there. I then decided to give my CV axle a jiggle and sure enough the inner portion of the drivers side axle that connects to the...

I have the same issue. It sounds like it is coming from the drivers side front wheel, but its not the wheel at all because it is only heard while under light acceleration or trying to consist a constant speed over 45 mph. I am an "official" newbie now, but have been lurking for years. I have...
