Tried disabling my ABS because I was getting this strange sudden stop and shuddering feeling accompanied by some vibration noise when I'd quickly hit my brakes in a parking lot.
Damn, problem is not fixed. It's so strange, if I take off and drive and come to normal stops I'm fine...but if I come to a quick stop right after starting up and going into gear (for instance you start up the truck and pull out of a parking spot but have to stop suddenly because the car in front of you does) then it "feels" like the ABS brakes kick in and you come to a really harsh stop (as opposed to the 4Runner's normal soft stop). Funny thing is I CAN'T get the ABS to kick in by going 40mph and smashing the pedal, in most cars I can.
It's a series of rapid pulses that you feel through the brake pedal and it also makes a noise and varies in intensity from time to time.
I can replicate it nearly every time if I just let the truck sit for a few minutes, then put it into gear, let it roll forward and quickly tap the brakes. Once I'm rolling for a short distance under power it won't do it again. Really strange.
I've seen others complain about judders from the driveline, is this possibly something related to the driveshaft?
Ideas?
