#2 of 158 Brake Pad/Rotor Life on 2000 Camry V6 by bsheng May 09, 2004 (6:11 am)
I had to replace the original front and rear brake pads as well as the rear rotors at 42,000 (50-75% highway) miles. Is this what other people are getting? I was suprised that the rear pads/rotors wore out faster than the front. are the front and rear designed to wear out at the same time or are the rear ones supposed to last longer? Thanks.

#4 of 158 Camry '98 LE brake hose and caliper change by pums Oct 25, 2004 (11:31 am)
I am a prowd owner of a '98 Camry LE. However, had a bad experience this wkend when my Camry started emitting smokes from both front wheels (!) and then flames started coming from inside the right front wheel (!!!). I panicked, took it to Firestone (nearest trustworthy auto garage) and they diagnosed Brake caliper seizure, hose leakage and bearing damage. All in all, the job cost me $940 (!!!). Is such cases common...any reason that it happenned..i had purchased the car from a dealer in May end (it has 75000+ on it). nd is what i paid too much. Need guidance...also on what other checks to be done to prevent such incidents in future... Replies to this message: loucapri (Nov 02, 2004 12:18 pm)

Replying to: pums (Oct 25, 2004 11:31 am) take it to the dealer and have them re-do your brake. I have a 97, took it to a cheap-o-brake shop, tried to save a buck. The brake didn't even last for a year. Took it to TOYOTA, man, it costs more but sure they did a much better job. In the long run, it pays off.
#6 of 158 Need advise on changing brake pads on a '99 Camry LE by ben2350 Aug 09, 2005 (7:42 am)
Hi, I have a '99 Camry LE (4cyl) and my front brakes need to be changed. I have watched a mechanic change brake pads on my other car a while back but am not sure if I remember every step/tools that he used.   Could anyone give me some advise, please?   Thank you!

Replying to: ben2350 (Aug 09, 2005 7:42 am) If you're not sure what you're doing, I'd say not to risk it. It doesn't cost all that much to have a professional change the pads.   I do a lot of my own maintenance, but I leave the brake work to the pros (except for changing out the fluid).

Replying to: 210delray (Aug 09, 2005 6:33 pm) Thanks for replying to my post! I agree with your point of not messing with my brakes However, I just want to get more independent atleast on the basic repair needs of my car. I would probably take it to the mechanic and this might be the last time I get it done there...
#9 of 158 ABS on Camry STD by terrygut Aug 09, 2005 (1:11 pm)
I've recently purchased Camry STD 2005. I noticed that some of 2005 STDs came with no ABS. Does anybody know how to find out whether my car has it? Replies to this message: 210delray (Aug 09, 2005 6:37 pm) toyotaken (Aug 09, 2005 7:11 pm) terrygut (Aug 10, 2005 5:33 am)

Replying to: terrygut (Aug 09, 2005 1:11 pm) You could ask your salesman. (Just kidding!)   When you first turn the ignition to the "on" position (don't start the engine just yet), there is a yellow warning light that goes on momentarily and says "abs." You may have to do this several times, because there are so many warning lights, and about half of them go off in a short time, including the ABS light.   I was under the impression that ABS was standard on ALL 2005 Camrys, despite what the brochure implies.
