04 Toyota Tundra Vibration When Braking
Shave off a hundred bucks and problem will be fixed in an hour - so I thought.
04 toyota tundra vibration when braking. Hello First post. I used oem pads and aftermarket rotors which I replaced with oem rotors due to the vibration. Fit 95-04 Toyota Tacoma 4Runner Sequoia Tundra 2PC Front Upper Ball Joint K90255 2795 TOYOTA TACOMA.
Heat causes metal to warp. Its very much like the typically ABS vibration but only 5-10 of the strength. After replacing brakes on my 2003 Tundra Limited I have a vibration when braking which i believe is in the front due to my steering wheel shaking.
In late 2002 Toyota finally issued a fix in the form of a TSB BR002-04. May 15 2019 by Jason. 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. 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. The vibration only lasts 15 seconds then stops.
I experienced severe vibration in the steering wheel while braking while on a 5-8 grade driving from Flagstaff to Phoenix towing a camping trailer approx 3200lbs welectric brakes. I replaced my front brakes and rotors about 3-5K ago and put new tires on all around about 3K ago. Posted on Jul 12 2014.
If I push on the brakes harder the vibration seems to disappear. As I recall it took quite awhile for anyone to recognize the issue during the early years of Tundra forums. If you feel it in your seat it is usually from a warped drum.
