Brake pull fixed!
I have had a problem with my brakes pulling to the right. I replaced both front calipers and pads and bleed and flushed the system. still pulled.
I replaced both tie rods, idler arm and had the Recall done on the relay. I also checked to make sure the bearings were good and they were. The Runner would track just fine driving down the road until I hit the brakes and then HOLY SH%!
I was ready to just stick a gas soaked rag in the fuel tank and then I discovered the problem. :pat: The four bolts that hold the Master cylinder to the brake booster where very loose! I tightened them all up and BAM! a test drive revealed that indeed it was fixed! I slam on the brakes no hands on the wheel and straight she go's! I am very happy to say the least ! I have had to put up with this thing for far to long!
I just wanted to share this with the yota community incase there are any doe does like me out there.
