2002 Tacoma crew-cab: Front brakes

Jul 25, 2007 5 Replies

Is there known issues with them getting pulsey/worn easily. I had my original rotors turned at ~45K, replaced at ~60K, and it seems here at ~65K I'm starting to feel a little subtle pulsing again. I haul a bit of a load once in a while (few hundred lbs), but never tow. Just wondering. I sure love it otherwise.

have your brakes adjusted every 7-10 thous. miles

do a repost in 20 thous miles and let us knw how happy you are with yer new found knowledge.

~:~ MarshMonster ~sips his mushroom tea...takes a toke......wonders if you'de rather jest replace EVERYTHING on the system so's it would git 45 thous. between brake jobs.......... naw......he would'nt wanna do that~ ~:~

Well, now I am a little confused. I thought modern day brakes were self adjusting. My understanding was that the rear drums are adjusted by setting and releasing the parking brake and the front disk were completely self adjusting?

What is involved to adjust the brakes?

Well MM, while the clever, witty tone of your response sounds like newsgroup troll behavior, giving you the benefit of the doubt,...what about what Paul asked?

Is it really a "brake adjustment" every other oil change?! You run a garage or what? Perhaps I'll get a precision floor-mat alignment as well, maybe flush-and-fill the ash-try too. ;-P
