From: msrdude on 12 Feb 2010 23:54 My friend has an 04 corolla. There is a TSB for this car which is: brakes squeak when backing out of a parking space and/or turning in reverse. There is a step that I don't quite understand. It says "disc brake cylinder mounting plate with the 2 bolts" Are they referring to the caliper carrier that holds the pads and brake clips? or something inside or around it because it is asking to replace that and I do not think that is necessary.

On these cars there are two things: the caliper, which is held with 2 bolts and sliding pins, and then the bracket the caliper mounts to which also has two bolts. It sounds like this is the piece they are referring to. What is the gist of the TSB? The caliper usually has 2 14mm bolts that slide through the sliders, and the bracket has (usually) 2 17mm bolts holding it to the knuckle.

If there is a TSB, there is a good chance that the car will be fixed free under the TSB. Please consult your Toyota dealer.

I have no experience with the bulletin you talk about, but I'd guess that the bolts that hold the plate/bracket that the caliper is mounted to is what they are talking about. Normally, the strut has a plate or bracket bolted to it that the caliper mounts to. This bracket must be removed in order to take the rotor off. The caliper houses the brake piston, which is the brake cylinder. The caliper moves horizontally on a plane that is perpendicular to the rotor surface. This plane is established by the bracket that is bolted to the strut. You didn't say why they want you to replace the bracket, but if they bothered to say it, it probably needs to be done.

Please consult your Toyota dealer. The existence of a TSB does not mean that the car will be fixed for free. For a repair to be fixed for free, the vehicle must still be under warranty, the condition has to be a warrantable condition, and if the vehicle is beyond the original warranty period, the condition would have to be covered under a recall, special policy adjustment, or goodwill. -- Ray O (correct punctuation to reply) |
