04 toyota tundra vibration when braking. If it was the torque converter it would go away when you step on the brakes as the ECM takes it out of lock up when it sees a brake pedal input. Also the Tundras tend to be very sensitive to wheel nut torque and brake rotor seating. The emergency brake actually the parking brake is activated by mechanical linkage.
As I recall it took quite awhile for anyone to recognize the issue during the early years of Tundra forums. Heat causes metal to warp. When you put the rotors on make sure the surface it sits on is nice and clean.
It is the pulsing in the hydraulic lines induced by the out of round rotors that cause the shaking in the front. You can feel it in your hands and thru the floor board. The shudder would go away well before a full stop.
Hi Got an 05 Tundra V-8 2wd Access SR5 17 wheels. Vehicle speed matters when you feel a vibration. The fix was to install a bigger brake caliper.
Shave off a hundred bucks and problem will be fixed in an hour - so I thought. I replaced my front brakes and rotors about 3-5K ago and put new tires on all around about 3K ago. I expect the brake discs are wornwarped and or the pads only way to tell is to strip down the front wheels etc check also for any movement in the wheel bearings top and bottom ball joints track rod joints as all these could cause a wobblevibration under braking if are worn etc.
Just because you replaced the drums does not mean they were machined right from the. Fit 95-04 Toyota Tacoma 4Runner Sequoia Tundra 2PC Front Upper Ball Joint K90255 2795 TOYOTA TACOMA. I have new oem rear shoes and drums also.
