So I was changing my mothers rear Rotors on her 04, 4Runner and noticed her rear disk had Drums in the hub. My dad said his 85 GT-S Convertible also had Drums in the Disk hubs and he said mine would probably have Drums. I havent taken my Disk off but the hubs on my 98 GT are pretty big. So my question is do our cars have Drums inside the disk hubs?

actually i would rather have the disc e-brake design than our drum type. the disc type i find holds better, simpler, lighter, reliable and gives you one less set of brake pads to worry about.

However, the dual system gives you redundancy in the case of failure; a caliper seizes and you still have a working set of brakes. |
