Hi Previa fans! :wave1:
A few months ago I release thread about Previa worn Calipers. ( http://www.toyotavantech.com/forum/showthread.php?2676-Front-caliper-problem )
Front left wheel is shaking when I brake and I do not feel that much on the pedal as on the steering wheel, and at the same time I hear the sound of grinding metal.
I went to another mechanic ( becouse last told me that bad calipers are the problem ) and we raised the van onto the jack and let it works in idle. All wheels are spinning apart of one that has problem, and when I add gas it starts spining but then rotor together with calipers moves left-right more than it supposed to.
:cnfsd:
Mechanic assumes that might be hub, bearings, shaft, c.v. joint or c.v. joint in the differential. Has anyone had a similar problem? :wall: Thank you!

I meant we put it to work onto the jack in first gear not in idle and also when van is driven left side is shaking on higher speed. Sometimes in slow ride that "worn pads" sound with thumping can occur? If you can understand what I'm wrighting :dizzy:

hmm. When your van is on the ground, go up to it and push it to see if there is play. Or if it is lifted, grab the wheel and pull it towards you.

This is the video on wheel bearings.


If you do find out, post the information. Any information is better than none. Hope it helps!

Sounds like a warped rotor (at the very least). Could be more going on there too.

Last year I replaced rotor and pads, link stabilizer and strut. Mechanic also sad that theres no gap on the axle shaft in another words theres nothing loose underneath the car!? If I get rid of this problem ofcourse I'll explain it in detail. Onother thing bothers me now, I have caliper with one piston on the hub. Can I buy hub from previa that have caliper with two cylinder, becouse until now I cant find Previa like mine? Then I'll use hub and caliper from that car and get rid of that with one piston?
