Brake problem
1996 Toyota 4Runner 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic 234500 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
Just replaced my front rotors and brakes pads. Easy job, no problems. However, now when the truck is over 40mph, the brakes grab and release. Doesn't matter if I hit the brakes soft or hard - I get a strong vibration. Under 40mph, there seems to be little problem. My tires are in excellent condition with 50K + miles. No sign of an alignment problem.
What should I be looking at now?
Thanks for your help.
"Check the rotors again, could be improperly seated due to foreign materials or rust. "
Thanks. I will pull it all apart again tomorrow. One thing I did not check is the trueness of the rotors. Being brand new, of middle range quality, I just pulled them from the box, cleaned everything, and then installed. Maybe I should have had them checked/turned 1st.
Again, thanks for your advice.
