Toyota Rear-Axle Beef-Up
The narrow axle uses 10-inch dual-servo drum brakes (right), while the wider axle uses 11.6-inch leading/trailing brakes. Pad surface is about 25 percent greater on the larger ones, with this additional size intended to compensate for some of the self-energizing action that is lost due to the change to the leading/trailing design. Flange sizes and bearing cups make the brake systems adaptable to either axle type. However, the drum-center holes differ in diameter. View Related Article
