The most vulnerable part of a wheel bearing hub unit with integrated wheel speed sensor is the connector. Regardless of the design, the integrity of the circuit comes down to the seal in the connector. If the seal is not replaced and properly seated, water and corrosion can cause an intermittent problem...

The Actron ABS BrakeScan CP9449 can be purchased for around $230 at most tool and auto parts retailers. But, should professional technicians buy this tool? Can it increase diagnostic productivity? I say, yes. The CP9449 can be a great starting point for a diagnostic process when resolving ABS MIL light...

I spotted this white paper on the Centric Prart’s website. It is an interesting approach to removing friction material from rotors. The paper comes from Centric’s Stop Tech Division. On large expensive rotors, the procedure makes sense when compared to machining the rotor. The disc thickness variation...

This Tech Tip came from Bendix Brakes about Brake Dust, the logic is sound, but I wish there was a test to determine the health of the caliper seal besides observing the symptoms... Caliper Retraction Critical Component Troy, Mich., July 23, 2008 – As technicians service brake systems on more vehicles...

Some customers with a 2003-2005 4Runner may experience a slightly lower brake pedal feel on an intermittent basis. A new brake pad anti-squeal shim service part has been developed to address this concern. Repair Procedure: 1. Remove the front wheels. 2. Remove the front disc brake anti-rattle pins. 3...

I am still on the fence about cryogenically treated rotors. In theory it sounds great, but I wonder if it is over kill. But, I have heard from some fleets and race teams that swear by the rotors. This Tech tip makes a good point about DTV and brake pads. Warped Brake Rotors? Are You Sure? Before you...

Looking for Answers? You have found the right place. Bendix has take the most frequenly asked questions (faq) that they answer on it's tech line and put them online. Here is sample: What is the recommended procedure to properly break in a new set of pads? A series of controlled moderate speed stops...

These pictures were slipped to me by an engineer at an undisclosed testing lab. What happened? The backing plate was stamped with the integral molding (IM) holes in the wrong locations. The holes created enough flex in the backing plate that caused the friction material to separate. Not good, for performance...
