It's time to do brakes. Have some questions.

When the brakes were draging they may have left flat spots on the rotor. Get the rotors turned and new pads.

Thanks Spartacus, that is a great suggestion. Unfortunately, he replaced pads and rotors first. When that didn't fix the issue he replaced the m/c and booster and I made him replace the pads and rotors again under warranty, which he did. So, brand new is calipers, pads, rotors, master cylinder and booster.

Cheers,
Patrick

Gotchya. You can bed the brakes and see if it helps.

Tundra Brake Upgrade For 3rd Gen 4Runners

I have a 99 4Runner SR5 Highlander SP. From what I can understand it has larger brake calipers and rotors than a standard SR5 and limited. Yes I need to replace the rotors because I have one that is Warped. Maybe need drums too.. I'm not sure yet. Anyway Does anyone know if there is something special I'm supposed to use or if there's an aftermarket something that fits that I don't have to buy from Toyota directly? Yeah I know sometimes the dealership sells the best parts but four front and rear brakes rotors drums pads what's going to be somewhere near $1,000 from my local Toyota dealer and that's if I install them myself.

eventually I'll be needing to do shocks and struts & will probably need that kind of information.... can't really afford to pay $500 per corner from the dealership on this vehicle.

yes lower ball joints are on my list of things to do in the very near future. Unfortunately those will definitely have to be Toyota. I understand that every other option is basically trash that will not last. Having a lower ball joint failure is not something I want to take a chance on.

Any information/help would be greatly appreciated.

I have seen a lot of youtube videos and everyone does a tundra brake upgrade,they fit and won't ever warp

However, even though the ABS fuse is back in, the truck still does the "shudder" when coming to a slow stop. Even if conditions are dry etc.

Does the steering wheel shake of vibrate when braking? Does your vehicle vibrate if you pull the parking brake while driving?
