Jerald L., GA (2006 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4.7-L V8)"I purchased the car used with 80,000 miles and had no history of the previous owner's maintenance or driving habits. When I began to have a bit of vibration when braking around 109,000 miles, I did some diagnostic measurements (runout) and found the right front rotor was not true though still within spec. I decided to simply restore the whole wheel end brake system to restart the history, so to speak. I Installed new rotors and brake pads, and rebuilt all of the calipers. I also flushed and changed the fluid. I used higher performance parts than OEM, and the brakes work great now."
Tom Y., NV (2006 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4.0-L V6)"After 155,000 I had the checked and the rear brake drum was turned and the pads replaced . The front pads still had 60 percent wear left on them and have never been replaced. WOE"
