Toyota Grand Highlander Rear Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement

Rear brake components typically wear out well after the front brakes due to the level of stress required to slow a car. Some rear brakes can last up to 50,0000 - 80,000 miles, but you should consult your Toyota Grand Highlander service manual for suggested maintenance intervals for all components. Keep in mind you should repeatedly have your service department perform a multipoint check which includes inspecting your brake system.

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Toyota Grand Highlander brake system is comprised of the following key components:

  • Brake pads or shoes are the parts that physically make contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's exceptionally crucial to keep Toyota Grand Highlander brake pads fresh by replacing them as they endure quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Toyota Grand Highlander maintenance schedule for the suggested mileage intervals.
  • Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road continuously.
  • Backing plate & return spring holds your Toyota Grand Highlander braking system together so it can function correctly.
  • Rotors also called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are different types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let find the best type of brake rotors for your Toyota Grand Highlander
  • Heat Shield or dust shield helps limit grime buildup thereby lengthening the life of your brake system.
  • Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Toyota Grand Highlander brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
  • Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to activate the parking brakes. When the lever is used or pedal depressed, the cable pulls the calipers or drums to initiate the parking brake of your Toyota Grand Highlander.
  • Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Toyota Grand Highlander rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
  • Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Toyota Grand Highlander brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined regularly for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Toyota Grand Highlander maintenance schedule for more information on when your hoses should be replaced.

Brake pads consist of two layers: a metal backing plate and a high-friction material that includes rubber, fiber, carbon & other materials. Over time, brake pads wear down and can even start squeaking. This noise is the metal backing plate & the rotor touching, which still acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can still cause damage to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start distorting them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate still protects the brake caliper from disproportionate heat buildup.

Brake calipers cover the rotors and contain pistons. The amount of pistons depends on the type of brake system. Brake fluid from the master cylinder forces these pistons to maneuver the brake pads against the disc. The brake caliper will uniformly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Generally, the more pistons in a caliper, the more uniformly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.
