1st Gen brake recommendations

Thanks. Dealer said I needed new drums but that didn't sound right to me. I'm gonna replace shoes and some of the springs and cables while I'm in there.

 

Keep in mind your rear cylinder leak might actually be a rear axle leak

 

I am running some of the cheapest rotors made (Raybestos) and they perform fine and have yet to warp. Same with their pads. I'm really skeptical that different pads and rotors make a big difference on our trucks.

 

Pretty sure they warp easier if the rears are out of adjustment.

 

I haven’t seen any oil from the axles. The dealer was the one that told me my wheel cylinders were bad. Apparently the other Toyota dealership should have replaced the cylinders when they did the rear axle seals but didn’t.
