Heard a snap!

Hello my name is Stephanie I have a 2017 Tundra. I was wanting to know if anyone can please help me with the situation. Well my sister came back with my truck saying she heard something snap which I’m assuming the back drivers side tire. Which is now leaking all the brake fluid and I can’t drive it after even putting brake in now the tire lock while I drive and is leaking all the fluid. I did take the tire off got to the brakes but it doesn’t seem like it’s leaking anything from there. So I’m assuming it’s the brake line. So I’m at a lost and don’t know where to go from there. Begin the only truck and I know it’s going to cost me. Just trying to see how to go about this.

 

Interesting issue. Did you take any pictures of what it looks like with the tire off and where the fluid is leaking from?

 

I’m about to do that I’m just waiting for a jack. Very interesting because I did ask them if they where off reading in the process but they said no so I’m just trying to understand what actually went wrong but will up load some pictures in a min

 

Yes, pictures will definitely help to diagnose what the issue might be.

 

Oh SNAP! Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

While we wait for photos of the wheel/brakes, when was the last time you had done brakes? Any noises or signs of additional load (sluggish take off, feeling under powered, loss in fuel economy,etc) as of late?

 

Sounds like the caliper bolts might have loosened and let go. Don't attempt to move the truck until you get it figured out. Taking the other side off might help you get an understanding of what it should look like. More or less like looking at a mirror, everything same but opposite.

 

Welcome from NY.

Hopefully it's a easy fix.
