right lads, need advice

 

ive got L reg jza80 3.0 n/a auto import, rear calipers have been sticking on and warped disc's and trashed pads,

 

been looking round for new ones, and it seems that the ones for rear are both N/A and TT, is this right

 

if not what size and type do i need

 

also is this a common problem with rea calipers sticking on and how can i sort it,

 

cheers adam

Depends if you have the smaller or larger type brakes. As both models had both type of brakes that's probably why it says NA and TT. Have a wee search for UK spec brakes and you'll find a pic, if they look like yours then you have the larger kind, if not then you obviously have the smaller kind. The Garage Whifbitz website has plenty of stock braking components (and pics) or uprated parts if you want too, worth a look.

Assuming these are the 'smaller' single pot calipers, it's quite easy to free a sticking rear slider, they normally just need a clean and regrease.

 

It's an ever increasing issue on the older cars, but is simple and cheap to fix.

 

If the sliders are seriously corroded a refurb kit can be purchased from Toyota for not much money (£30 ish IIRC), althought it can be cheaper to buy a good used set of calipers.

 

For replacement discs get Toyota items, for pads, choose the best option you can afford, but obviously need to be matched to your front pads.

 

Edit - on a 93/94 NA auto they will almost certainly be the 'smaller' brakes.

There are LOTS of threads about this now if you do a search.

 

As Homer said it's getting quite common as the smaller j-spec brakes get older.

 

Follow Homers advise above. Give the sliders a good clean/grease. If that doesn't work get a refurb kit or source a replacement calliper.

Get new discs from Toyota. Steve Manley at Inchcape Toyota will do you a good deal if you say your a member of the club. Other traders on here such as Whifbitz and Chris Wilson can also supply. Just tell them you have j-spec brakes.
