Hey guys

i took off my wheels to clean the inside brake dust off

and noticed there is alot of rusting in the picture i've attached ( rear left ), ive compared it to the rear right disc and there is minor rusting but not to this extent...

my rear brakes squeel like anything when i reverse i dont know if this has any contribution to the problem.

any advice on this would be great, as i hope theres nothing wrong with my rear discs, incase in emergency braking!

as usual when i went to toyota to look at my brakes explaining the problem, they said "its perfectly normal"

=/ i dont think that amount of rust is normal tho

yeah ive got the same problem with my brakes (all of them).

i took mine back to toyota a while back about my brakes sqeeling when in reverse.

they reset up the brakes and replaced all the pads.

havnt had a problem with sqeeling since then.

i would not be worried about that amount of rust, its only just bit of light surface rust, if you were really worried clean it off with a wire brush and spay some zinc coat in there to stop the rust from starting in the future.

Make sure that your handbrake is off cause if it isn't totally released it'll also emit a high pitched squeel when you start to move especially in reverse.

the last meet we had down here prior to the dyno day i was speaking to motoman and he was telling me that there is a recall on all rollas with squeeling brakes in reverse. mind you they have never sent out letters because theres only been a few cases for them to fix.

but like i said i took mine to toyota after i spoke to him and the re adjusted my brakes and replaced all pads even though the pads seemed fine.

had somthing to do with the brakes slightly grabing and releasing completly.

anyway cant see why your toyota service centre wouldnt look into it.

im constantly hasseling mine dealership and to there credit they have fixed nearly every issue ive had to date. and there have been plenty of issues lol ill take it there over anything and everything. the whole crew there all know me on a first name basis now lol.

anyway try another place and see what happens.

I'm guessing you didn't paint the friction surface of the rotor...?

but of course he did. he just wore it back down with his friction pads :lol: :P

No i didn't paint the disc surface but a little overspray did get on it so I wiped it with thinners and then went for a good hard drive with some good hard stops and hey presto no more paint!!

      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.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
