I never thought I would contemplate getting rid of a (reasonably) new Toyota until recently. my 2021 Tacoma TRD offroad came with with 16" wheels that I can't seem to ever balance. After two rounds, I gave up. The car vibrates as I drive, and the steering wheel vibrates even more when I brake...

So I bought this 98 4Runner sr5 4wd knowing it had a brake issue. I looked up some things and people said to delete and so I did. I bled the brakes old fashion and vacuum about 8x and the pedal is still spongy. I bought a new master cylinder and bench bled it down and still spongy brakes!! Im...

Hey everyone, I promise I've read through plenty of the other forums trying to match my problem to their low accumulator problem, but nothing quite matches up to my symptoms. I have a 2010 4Runner SR5 with roughly 250K on it. Previously I had the brake alarm, abs light, and traction control...

My 2010 Prius 2 gave me the brake booster kiss of death this weekend. 200k mi. As far as I understand I'm not eligible for any recall. Anyone know what the going rate is on this repair at a dealer? No info over the phone about parts availability or price until I take the hit and tow it in and...

Hi Im in the middle of coverting my 2001 pickup 2wd from 5 to 6 lugs, i have acquired hubs and spindels form a 2002 2wd Hiace (Granvia, Regius?) and i will use the rear axle from a 1985-1995 Hiace 4x4 (if the axle width is correct as it should be) for most of you that are not familiar with the...

My 2021 Venza has a noticeable thump in the right front at low speeds around 20 MPH. Occasionally there is a low speed noise that sounds like the ABS cut in at slow speed stop usually when cold. Otherwise the car is quiet and solid, but around 20 is really thumpy! Moved tires and changed...

PARTS I ORDERED FROM ADVANCED AUTO PARTS ARE TO ARRIVE BY END OF DAY Jan 5. I FOUND A MECHANIC WHO WANTS TO DO THE WORK. I took 2003 CAMRY LE made in JP manual transmission, 4 cylinder in for oil change to mechanic. He told me Front brake pads and Front rotors are low and will need to be...

When a car owner, me, is told brake pads and rotors need to be replaced I am paying attention. On the other hand when I drive the car should/would there be symptoms that convey this? Also, If my front driver's side sway bar LINK is broken is this a fix that has immediacy to it? Trying to...

Was about to replace my front rotors, which are about 21.90 mm because I read somewhere that they should be 26 mm minimum thickness. Just opened up the box for the new rotors and they are 22.01 mm. So... something is wrong. Either the parts I was sent, or the 26 mm spec. Does anyone know...

Hi everyone! 2 weeks ago I received my new Yaris Cross Hybrid. I really like it, and that fuel efficiency is really something else! I would like to ask for your opinion about one thing however, before going to the dealer and waste someone's time. The car does all sort of noises when I brake...

I am writing this because I am unsure if there are any differences between the brake calipers between the USDM and JDM 6th gen celica. The issue that I am having is that when you let off the brakes the calipers dont release/relieve pressure on the brakes causing friction that results in loss of...

Anyone here work or worked as a mechanic at a Toyota dealership? I stopped in a local dealer for pads & rotors for my RAV4 and was offered a choice from two different rotors, both in Toyota sealed boxes. I asked "what's the difference?". Parts guy said, "one set are the "ones we install" and...

2016 Toyota Corolla S at ~45k miles, first rear brake change I recently replaced the rear disc brakes (both pads and rotors on both sides). It’s worth noting that I had uneven wear in the pads on the passenger side. The inside pad was worn further down than the outside one, though the wear...

Hello Everyone I thought I would post some research I have done with regard to the front brakes on the Corolla Hatchback 2018-2022. The first things to note: The hatch and sedan do not share the same front and rear brake setup so please do not make this mistake that I have made! The whole pad...

Hey y’all. My first post here but far from my first Toyota. I just picked up a 2000 Corolla CE. It had 15k miles on it when I got it. Now it has 21k. I’m about to do an oil change. (I know for a fact it’s had it’s oil changed once a year with mobile one for the past 15 years.) It’s from...

Hello! I was replacing the brake pads on my Toyota Highlander (2005) and saw some concerning things while switching the front brake pads. I couldn't find what this piece was called in the user's manual, and am hoping someone in this community could help identify what this part is and whether...

So after I've driven my car for a few miles, I go to break and it sounds like a dying whale coming from the center of the dash. I have replaced the brakes and calipers, and the rotors are still great. There is no play when I'm breaking and the car stops like normal. The sound only starts when...

I'm looking to upgrade the front brakes on my 2010 base corolla, and while performance pads and rotors are easy enough to find, I can't find any calipers besides the basic 1-piston caliper, or a $1200-3000 big brake kit. Are there any 2-piston upgrades available and for a decent price? Drilled...

Hi - I’m trying to figure out if there is any good excuse for a friend/part-time mechanic not to have lubed any of the brake parts after replacing all of my brakes and pads. I’ve noticed a squeaking for a while but thought maybe the brakes needed to settle, as I read somewhere online. I could...
