Squeaky Brakes

[BenRichardsFife]

Brakes are squeaking when applied, comes and goes from time to time - but there hasn't been a journey when they have been noise free

 

My hubs are a little rustyyy "/ is this the guilty culprit? If so, are they a refurb job or replacement, is it easy to do, and how much am I looking at

 

thanking yous in advance

Probably pads are low/brakes are binding, the J Specs are common for seizing.

 

Take your pads out and take a look, also inspect your disc:)

From the pics in your garage it looks like you have the smaller 2 piston front

single piston rear calipers fitted.

 

If they have never been refurbed then i'd unbolt the calipers from the carriers

and have a good look at the 2 sliding pins and check to see if the pistons are seizing,

also check the outer dirt seals on the pistons and the 2 carrier pins, i'd guess they'd

be in need of changing if their the originals.

 

 

Refurbing them is quite simple if you know what your doing, Toyota sell a seal kit

for the fronts and rears. Not sure on the 2 pot 1 pot calipers but the uk 4 pots

are approx £65 retail for the front caliper seal kit

 

Also check the handbrake while your at it
