Hey, im slowly building parts up to do the brakes/hubs(locking hubs )/ and axles up front. ive searched the sight and the read a bunch. I dont want to do the tundra upgrade cause i never tow anything and i dont want differant wheels. so basically i want some feed back on slotted rotors vs pplain and the cryo treated vs not. and where is a good place to buy. tirerack.com is where i got my pads, hawk ferrow-carbon. but their rotors were all in the 100-120 dollar range. on on link someone mentioned lc somthing and they were like 40 bucks. anyway, let me know

 

and brands too thanks

 

You already have the big finned IFS calipers with vented rotors and a brake booster stock...about as good as it gets. You might just need new OEM equipment.

 

After 2 sets of warped raybestos rotors, and after reading some on here, I went OEM on my 90 runner. This was back in 97. Made a few mods to the cooling vents on the dust shield just to make them flow more air, but stayed OEM even now. All has worked well. Pay attention to torque specs and tightening patterns.

 

This topic was discussed, often times very heated, in this thread:

If you have a V6, you have the best brakes toyota made for your truck. The tundra upgrade is not an option since you have a 2nd gen 4Runner, and it only fits 3rd gens.

I am with Waskilly on this one. Just need some new pads and turned/new stock rotors, and you will be golden.

 

I have not read any threads and what not, but just to help you out, here is the "lc somthing."

I replaced my rotors about 100,000 miles ago with Brembo rotors I got at Autozone. I've had no problems and they weren't too expensive. I'm not going to fire up the old slotted rotor/stock rotor debate. This is just what worked for me.

 

thanks for all this thats all awsome info. one more thing, the stealership wants like 200 bucks for a a set of wheel bearings( 2 inner and 2 outer) and they are like i think 40 from autozone and 40 a side on downwy off road. is there a differance?

 

Timken is a very good name in bearings. I dont think that Timkens cost 200 bucks though. I think thats just toyotas markup. If you can get timkens and they dont break the bank, go with them. Otherwise get what you can afford and service them at least every 30k miles.

BTW, make sure you get the new races with new bearings.

 

i just checked out autozone and they carry the timekin brand and they have a cupped for 4.99 and a cone style for 8.99( both inner) whats the differance? is that what you wer talking about with the race?

 

I've used Timken bearings from autozone plenty of times. Never had any problems.

 

still didnt answer my question about the cupped and the cone??

 

Dont know about a cup or cone. Usally choose a cone though from brusters.

If you ask for the bearings and races, they should know what to give you. There should not be a choice. Thats what they are called. Now if the guy behind the counter says he has the cupped style and the cone style, he may be talking about the bearing (cone) and race (cup) but you need to verify that and set him straight about what hes supposed to call them.

 

I dont think they are giving u the right part...wheel bearings arent 4.99

I would go with OEM toyota (Koyo) and nothing else but I'm weird like that..

What ever u do, dont get trail gear bearings stamped CHINA. I have held one in my hand and it is the most worthless POS I have ever seen.

I might be able to get you a cheaper price than the Toyota dealer on OEM if you are interested.

If you purchase bearings they should come WITH new races. Do not mix up the races and bearings as each bearing is made to fit each race specifically.

 

how much dirtoyboy? and i thought it was wierd about the price. wabfab has the OEM for 40 bucks a sid with new hub gaskets and all. this one guy has aisin hub for my truck for 75 plus shipping but he hasnt contacted me back about it. anyone else got a simalar deal they can sit on for about a week?

 

I got a new set of wheel bearings and trunnion bearings from the dealer with my discount and they were still $200+ for all of them.

As far as TG wheel bearings, which we sell, I have put them in 3 of my own vehicles with no problems or issues. I've sold numerous others with the same results. I've also compared the TG ones to OEM wheel bearings and they mic out the same.

 

Timkin is a good bearing.
The cup is the race, the cone is the bearing....you replace both.

Sometimes wheel bearings are a set (both cup and cone together in 1 box)
Each wheel has a inner and outer bearing. Don't forget the wheel seal.

Timken #'s:
inner cup....JLM104910

inner cone...JLM104948

Outer brg set...BR50
