Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / June 20072002 4Runner brake rotors. DIY job?
My 4Runner needs rotors. I've done rotors on 2WD cars in the past. Is this a trickier job due to the 4WD? Vin - Menotomy Vintage Bicycles http://OldRoads.com > My 4Runner needs rotors.

I'm with Ray on this one. If you are comfortable doing this kind of job, then the 4WD isn't going to throw any huge hurdles in your way. > >> My4Runnerneeds rotors.

Any recommendations for on-line parts suppliers, or should I just buy oem rotors and pads from the dealer? Vin - Menotomy Vintage Bicycles http://OldRoads.com >> >> My4Runnerneeds rotors.

I do recommend OEM pads and rotors. SignatureRay O (correct punctuation to reply) >> >> My4Runnerneeds rotors. I've done rotors on 2WD cars in the past. >> >> Is this a trickier job due to the 4WD?

I suggest buying from any of the national chain stores. I bought rotors on line (an eBay Store), and the savings were not spectacular, there was a delay of when I wanted the parts and when I got the parts, and the quality of the parts was lacking which required an additional expense that ate up the non-spectacular savings. >> >> My4Runnerneeds rotors.

The pads were there best quality and only had about a thousand miles on them. According to Autozone specs the correct pad and not a defect or anything like that. But they were not even close to the same as the Toyota pads I installed after that near disaster. Autozone's wheel bearing seals look so cheap it makes me laugh out loud as well.
