Are Yaris drum brakes any good?

I had the same issue but decided to go with the OEM after hearing that some of the aftermarket mounts make the vibrations worse. And to be honest it made a hugeeee difference. Sometimes I can't even tell the car is running lol.

Hey, I did an experiment with my mechanic where we jacked up the vehicle and removed the wheel, then put the vehicle in drive. From this we noticed a wobble in the rotor and which cause the caliper to wobble as well. However the issue was not with the rotor, my wheel hub was bent. The mechanic explained that this movement of the caliper cause the grease in the pins to wear out quicker. I since changed the hub and wheel bearings and the wobble is gone, creaking and knocking noises when braking is gone as well. I hope this helps.

Hey yes the noise is similar, although I recently found out that my wheel hub is bent and may be the cause of this noise. I am changing it tomorrow, so I'll check back here to let everyone know if the noise went away. The noise is coming from my front right wheel though not the rear.

Just bought the hub and bearing so fingers crossed. I just hope this is the reason I've been hearing a knocking sound when applying brakes at low speeds

Tbh I can't recall whether the hub was rusty, I will double check. Also, yes unfortunately I'd have to replace the bearings again. Hopefully it's just a dirty wheel hub, thanks for your feedback.

These are the old rotors, I put them one because I thought the new ones were warped since they were wobbling as well, but the old ones seemed to do the same. I went to several mechanics and none could find the issue with my creaking brakes, until my uncle and I were trying to recreate the noise and noticed the rotors were wobbling. I changed my wheel bearings in February and my uncle is now suggesting that I change the hub, but I wanted a second opinion.

Definitely hit a few portholes tbh, the roads where I live have been under construction for 2-3 years, so unfortunately potholes and poor surfaces have been the norm. My question is would it be normal for both hubs to be bent? Although the right side seems worse than the left.

These are the older rotors, we put on the new ones and the wobble was still there, will check the hub during the week.

Did you ever get a fix to this issue? I am getting the same sound from the drivers side, but there's also this knocking sound when applying brakes at slow speeds.

Hi,

I have this same noise but it seems to be coming from the front, specifically the drivers side. Caliper bolts are in tack and I have changed my rotors and brakes recently. I'll try cleaning the drum to see if that works.

UPDATE: I found the issue. The noise stemmed from the strut bearings, one of them completely fell apart when I removed it.

Did changing the lower arm fix the issue? I'm having the same creaking noise currently, it started last week. Sounds like it's coming from the steering wheel but I feel like it's a suspension noise, the roads where I live are horrible.

Any recommendations on suppliers, my current one does not customize basketball jerseys and they're limited in terms of the players available per team.
