ilyushin Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 When I don't drive me Benz ( or the kids lose the keys) we have a smaller Toyota Altis. It is good for Bangkok, but I have a feeling the brakes are not performing well. I also previously had a Toyota Tiger with questionable brake problems. Has anyone else had problems with the locally assembled Toyota cars/trucks brakes? Problem of car shaking a bit and the steering wheel vibrations. I could be spoiled by the Benz, but don't think so.

Camelot Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Sounds like your wheels might need balancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilyushin Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 Sounds like your wheels might need balancing. Possible. I will take it by for a check. Thanks. Seems okay when speeding around town, but hit the brakes is like landing a C-130. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solent01 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 May not be the balance, as you would normaly get vibration at a perticular speed with this problem, regardless of braking or not, could be a warped brake disc. Once had this problem with a hire car that didn't have ABS, someone prevously locked up the front end and put flat spots in the rubber, felt terrible under braking.
