Toyota 1 inch brake master cylinder

[kaiwei]

Hi

Anyone know which toyota has 1 inch brake master cylinder? i want to swap the stock 7/8 to 1 inch.

Yesterday i drove my dads 2003 camry. the brake pedal travel is long and mushy, with very little feedback that it was really hard to manipulate, to a point i consider the car is dangerous to drive.

i think the 7/8 inch master cylinder pair with a brake booster that has too much non-reaction stroke is what makes the brake so terrible.

1 inch master cylinder should firm up the the pedal feel quite a bit.


regards

Mushy brake pedal feel has a few possible causes.

1. You need to bleed and replace your brake oil. Old worn out oil will not work optimally and you'd be surprised how watery broken down worn out oil can be. Will definitely affect feel. Same goes for air bubbles in the brake system.

2. Your brake hoses are old are worn out. Flexing brake hoses (expansion) will most definitely affect brake pedal feel as well. Get them changed out if they are soft to press.

3. Your brake cylinder needs servicing because of worn seals. That's self explanatory.

The boffins in Toyota didn't make one of their top models crappy like you described. Camrys are sold all over the world so there has to be some level of quality and technology to the car.

My dad said it feels that way since day 1. he had brake pads and fluid changed few months ago.
He thinks it is ok cos he is used to it but i think the pedal feel is just terrible.

oh btw, brake pad compound will change the way the pedal feels as well. All depends.

I personally would need to test the car to understand what you mean by "terrible". Personally I find only the Myvi 1.3 brakes are terrible, otherwise most cars have pretty decent brakes.

i like the myvi part, sold the car (bought in dec2010 and sold about a year after that) because of the crappy brakes, told a girl at the service center recently, she said her alza's brake also is like that compared to her kelisa's & from her reaction like no intention to bring this up to highest people in perodua, feel like want to summon perodua for the crappy myvi 1.3 brakes (mine was S.E. & manual btw), should/can we? any lawyers here?

You'll lose because first of all, the brakes work. They work like shit yes - but they work. Even the ABS works. It's not like they intermittently don't work or don't have brakes at all

Probably need to recheck the brakes as per bro. Izso post.
Your dad's comment is just like my colleague. Used his car out for lunch, he lazy to drive so pass his keys to me. Straight away I was like fighting the steering to get it going straight and he mentioned has been like that since day one. I was like "WTF" how have you been driving fighting the steering these few years. Immediately I drove to tyre shop, alignment, balance, tyres swapped but still have slight pull but not that bad, then tyre shop personnel shift the suspension mount around and everything was okay.
Having said the above, probably from day one the brakes have not been good, so need to check on it....:hmmmm:

No wonder you are looking for the 1.5 calipers......
