Brake Caliper Slider Kit? Avensis 2004 1.8 Vvti

[rickjhns]

Hi,

I would like to know if there is such a thing as a brake caliper slider kit for a 2004 Avensis. The reason I ask is I have a (the very common rumble among Avensis owners) noise over rough ground due to movement of the front brake pads against the calipers. I have improved this my fitting brake pads with anti rattle shims (basically rubber backing plates), however the rumlbing sound still persists. My mechanic has suggested I need to fit a new caliper slider kit which might should the noise. Howwever, when I mentioned this to a Toyota mechanic he was not aware of this part.

There are spares for this and contain cylinder slide pins and bushes and boots.

Many thank for the reply.

Which part/parts would I need to order improve (reduce) the noise from the pads? From what you say, I think it would be a job best dealt with by a Toyota dealer rather than an indpendant garage.

Thanks

The most likely problem will be the pins and bushes but you can test for movement with the wheel removed and a helper lightly applying the brake while you rock the disc. I am attaching a dia of the front brake and you can judge whether or not you are competant to do it.
