My Tundra just turned 35K so if I am going to have the tsb on the brakes done, either front/rear or both, it will have to be real soon. The only time I notice vibration is when I have been running it pretty hard and have heated the brakes up. It shutters then, otherwise its fairly smooth.
I have read a lot of the postings about the TSB work and frankly it does not seem very positive. Seems like a lot of postings about shuttering and vibration, beatup A arms, etc. I know that generally people complain more than they compliment, but what is you guys opinion about having the tsb's done? I am looking at it two fold....new bigger parts and free brake job....but I do not want other problems. Should I do it?
Oh yea...If I do have the TSB done, what parts are absolutely necessary and which should I avoid? I wonder if the bearings are really necessary or not and if I should just avoid that if I can?
If you can get the dealer to do it, have them modify the dust shield to fit the new caliper, otherwise the bearing have to be replaced a pair of tin snipes and a file are all that's needed to modify the shield. It looks much cleaner, and is a whole lots eaier, plus you don't have to worry about beat up A-arms, or the tech f---ing up putting the bearings together.
I recomend it but remember stuff happens. I had to have (2) alignments done to get it right after they were done plus another bleed. Dealer covered it all.

I have had a rattle in my right front every since they done that TSB. I only notice it going over "mild" bumps. Do you have any clue what it would be or what they would have done to cause it? They did replace my shields and bearings when they done the work.

oh really and when toyota finds out that your not doing the whole tsb you will be charged back. thats a fact . also as far as the tech f---ing up ?...hey hows the job search? also when the tsb is done make sure the brake lines are tight!!!!!!
I went back and forth trying to figure out if I should have the TSB done. I ended up having the fronts done. Minor A arm bashing on the left side and they actually didn't tighten up one of the lines so I leaked some fluid. Othetr than that they work well with no vibs.
If you have it done just note what you want done. I called a couple shops and some did hte dust sheild mod, and others did hte whole install. (I did hte whole install)Also tell them when you drop it off to not whack hte A arms. As long as they know your watching they sometimes do a slightly better job.
I would try to get it done, mine started at about 25 K just as you said, got worse after a brake job at 35K, at 50K the truck was almost dangerous. Now Toyota Corporate expects the dealers to fix it but some places and district service guys wont let it get done becasue it si a $2200 job. It requires new calipers, pads, rotors and bearings. It does make a big difference, brakes real nice now and when you come down out the mountians they dont fade anymore.
Like I said they did mine at 52K, I had an extended warrenty but they didnt use it and I didnt pay any deductible.
Brake TSB--Yes or No?
