Toyota Breaks My Brakes..

Re: Toyota Breaks My Brakes.. Group: alt.autos.toyota Date: Sun, Apr 20, 2008, 11:58am From: snipped-for-privacy@here.net (Tomes) I just bought lifetime warranted pads for the front brakes on my motorhome 3 weeks ago, and the information is in their computer so I don't need to keep the receipt. It is interesting that you have a different experience. Regarding the rear brake adjustment, I had the rear brakes stop self adjusting on their own. It happens. I can get crudded up in there. Mine was not even crudded up. I found out when the NJ inspection determined that the front brakes were doing too much of the braking. Upon removal of the rear drum there was plenty of pad left. I put the drum back on, adjusted the brakes properly (an easy thing to do with a jack and jack stands) and then it passed the test fine. The way I understand it, it is not the parking brake that does the adjusting, it is the act of braking while in reverse that does it. Tomes

I asked auto zone the last time I was there and they said they no longer sell lifetime. I don't know if that is where you went. But it doesn't matter, toyota is now going to replace my front brakes as long as I own the car (parts and labor).

My camry's self adjusting actuator is the parking brake. The tech confrimed this... But I've yet to see it help.

I adjust them when I'm up north on vacation and I clean 'em up with brake cleaner. I've got no time during the when I'm in Flori-duh, working.. CP

Cool.
