    i have a 2008 Toyota Tacoma prerunner v6 and I am having brake issues I would wake up in the morning to go to work and press on my brakes and have a 1/4 brake pedal so I said ok and drive it down the road to go to work i would be driving and the steering wheel would start shaking like a caliper was locked up and I was hearing noises from the driver side brake caliper I replaced it and now is still doing it does anyone know what it might be that’s not letting me have a full brake pedal. And yes I have replaced the master cylinder on it it’s not even 2 months old please help out

    Sounds like you need to replace the rubber brake line to the caliper. It may look OK on the outside but be collapsed in the inside not allowing pressure to the caliper to be relieved. I had this happen to a rear caliper on my Chevy Silverado not too long ago.
