Just wondering if anyone has experienced this before, after i have hit lift a couple of times and gone for a 'spirited' drive i experience this grinding clunking noise when i break normally to slow down to a stop at the lights for example. It sounds a lot like ABS kicking in when i slam on the breaks to avoid an accident!! and im only break very S L O W L Y...........?

What could this be? i have a 2005 corolla sportivo with only 21k on it....surely my breaks aren't gone already? its only been a year and i rarely drive my car HARD continuously or break HARD continuously?

if someone could shed some light on this it would be great....thanx in advance.

Do you feel the noise on the break pedal? I had a car which was unevenly wearing the pads. Was causing ABS to kick in slowly stopping.

The brakes, especially the discs warping has been a problem on SA built Corollas.

Have Toyota fix it, it's their problem for fitting poor quality components.

Be firm (but polite :D ) that they need to fix it and it's not a "Normal wear and tear issue".

Oddly enough now that I have the P1's on my car the grinding is gone. It doesn't do it anymore :o

Could it be the stock wheels in my case lightly brushing the stockers? Or is it the fact that the 6 spoke design lets the brakes breath a bit more?

ooOOOooOOoooOOooOo

You guys have 05 Stivos.. which means warranty... :D just get toyota to figure it out...

AHHHHAHAHAHAHA!!! :lol:

I took it to 2 different dealers here and they just scratched their heads. I was the one that ended up saying 'replace my brake pads and surface grind the rotors'. Even then that didn't fix it completely.

Changing the wheels did though? I still find that totally weird. That you sam? lol

I had a similar problem of ABS engaging on my 05 Camry (I know not the same car but could be a similar cause). At the same time as I braked a blinker also came on steady (not blinking - I can't remember whether it was right or left) and my reverse sensors gave the "oh #$@% your about to hit" sound.

Apparently there was a loose connector and it was a relatively simple fix for the dealer. It could be as things heat up after a spirited drive that something is coming loose

I just had a 30000km service completed with them paying special attention to my front brakes on my 2005 sportivo. i arrived and they said the noise and braking feel was a common problem and in some circumstances the discs cannot be machined and require replacing. Anyway in my situation they deglazed disc rotors , unfortunately the noise resurfaced after 15-20 mintues of solid driving. Seems the solution is a replacement.

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.
