Jason – Got dealer to install new upgraded rotor and vibration problem cleared. Toyota Service has an upgraded part that seems to be thicker than the original rotor that the Tundra comes with.

Jason, thanks for the links, but based on inputs from other Tundra owners and my own personnal experience there seems to be a design failure with the OEM brake rotor. Turning the rotors are only a TEMP. fix to a problem that I believe needs to be addressed by Toyota Corp. My vibration braking problem did’nt start happening until after 36,000 miles. Once again, thanks you for your input.

Frank – We wrote some articles about after-market brake rotors and pads that you might find useful (see below), but I’m thinking that you might not need replacements. Has the shop offered to regrind the OEM rotors, or are they just too worn?

Any suggestions where to purchase an upgrade disc rotor and brake pad for my 2004 double cab tundra. Need to replace the OEM parts due to vibration when braking.

Frank – The 1″ diff drop is a good idea when you add more than 2″ of lift to the front end – it helps reduce the ball joint angles and bring them back closer to spec.

Why and when do you need to install a 1″ diff. drop when lifting front for 4×4? What if you just want to install a 1″ strut spacer, do you still need to install the diff. drop? Last, has anyone experience vibration problems when braking on 2004 double cabs 4.7l 4×4 tundras?

Dan – It depends on the tires and rims, but most people have no trouble getting 33’s to fit. Your local tire shop can help you figure it out.
