pulsing brake pedal. old brakes?

Hi i have a 2006 trd sport and the brake pedal slightly pulses when im pressing at higher speeds,will that stop if i change brake pads,shoes etc...?

 

You likely have one of two problems:

1. Bad alignment (could also be caused by worn out ball joints or tie rod ends)

2. Warped rotors (common, I've had to change mine out a few times. lathing won't fix it)

 

Might be warped rotors or bad pads or a combination of both. We just swapped out new rotors and pads on my buddies 2010 Sport cause is rotors were warped and it rides smooth now.

 

I have the same problem with my 07. I replaced my pads and rotors and it still does the same thing.

 

Did you ever find out what the problem was?

 

I'd be willing to bet one of 3 things is wrong then, if new rotors/pads didn't fix it:

1. Tie rod ends worn
2. UCA or LCA bushings are worn/crumbled
3. Upper and/or lower ball joints worn (usually those groan when you turn the wheel - most unlikely if you have no other symptoms)

Jack the entire front end up in the air so both tires droop, then grab the tire with your hands and start wiggling. If you have any kind of play, then it's time to figure which of the above is causing it.

I'd put money on tie rod ends or bad bushings. Easy to inspect and diagnose, and both are relatively cheap fixes especially if you do it yourself.

 

No I dont have the time right now unfortunately
