Brake question
Hello Yotatech. i have a 91 4runner v6 automatic with 4wd. i have a brake question if someone can help me out. i've changed everything up front, brake pads, guide pins, caliper gromits no seals, rotors, bearings and seals. CV's are great. when i brake at any speed the brake pedel kinda pops or shakes up and down, the pedel does not sink to the floor. no noise on the outside just inside the cab, not to loud but it just pops up and down a little bit. i'm thinking maybe some wd40 on the pedel where it pulls the pin to the master cylender....... i dont know guys. anyone have a good guess????

My guess, if you have ABS, is that the ABS sensor got damaged, disconnected or something and the ABS system now thinks that the wheels are locked all the time, so the ABS kicks in all the time. If you don't have ABS, I have no idea what it is.

The ABS is rear only. Sensor mounted to the top of the third member. Bolts on, two wires coming out. Also, drum brakes in the rear of these vehicles, so no rotors.
I changed the third and removed mine but still left the sensor plugged in and tied the whole thing out of the way. No brake light at dash and no brake problems, just no more ABS. MAybe you could try to pull the switch from the third to troubleshoot the problem.
Perhaps jack up a rear wheel and check for drag. Maybe an assistant can try and locate the noise while you press the brake. Wouldn't think a noise like you described could be a hydraulic problem... unless the dungeon door is in a very high-tec castle.
