Oh, I will!I had them checked when I had the tires put onblasphemy! lolFrom what you are saying, it almost sounds like Toyota may have put too weak of a drive train in those vehicles. Uncommon for that company, since their stuff is usually rock-solid.
Have you checked your control arms?
If they are worn you'll get something that resembles axle wrap.
Be sure to tell us what it turns out to be.
btw, does the vibration pulse with the speed of the vehice, iow, is it a thump thump thump that gets faster or slower depending on how fast the vehicle is going when you depress the pedal?
Yes, I guess you can say that.
Something out of round or misaligned. Somebody said check the lugnuts for tightness.
lol, the redneck fix is...
if it's a 2 stage master cylinder, pull off the line going to the rear brakes and put a little rubber plug in the fitting, then put it back on. Voila! the rear brakes will be disabled and no more vibration, if they're the culprits. Your front brakes will stop you, most of the time, lol.
Happy motoring! Drive carefully.
To be honest I've done that before, but only because I had a busted rear brake line and I wanted to drive it to the shop without losing all the brake fluid and ending up on no brakes, or having to have it towed for $100.
I survived.
