Hi guys,
My first post here.
I'm Steve, posting from Banff, Alberta Canada
I imported a 98 Prado from Japan about 3 months ago with 120,000 kms and am loving it!
So far I've done some routine maintenance, timing belt, water pump, all the fluids, replaced starter contacts.
My next chore is to replace the brake pads and rotors - I have a slight shake when braking hard.
My question or 'ask' is about brake pad and rotor parts.
Of course, no car part stores here list the Toyota Prado in their computers, because the Prado was never available here. So, I'm having trouble finding a part number or equivalent vehicle to use as a match for brake parts.
Could anyone point me to a good Australian parts site where I can enter the Prado year, and look up rotor and brake part specs? I'm hoping to try and find a vehicle here in North America that uses the same parts - I'm thinking the Toyota Tacoma (Aka Hilux) or perhaps Lexus 470 might be good matches).
Or if anyone knows a part number for rotors and pads for their Prado? That would be very helpful.
Thanks guys, I'll try to contribute to this site as much as I can.
All the best,
Steve
