Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers
The Toyota Sequoia brake system is comprised of the following key components:
- Heat Shield or dust shield helps limit grime buildup thereby lengthening the life of your brake system.
- Backing plate & return spring holds your Toyota Sequoia braking system together so it can function perfectly.
- Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road continuously.
- Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Toyota Sequoia brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
- 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 vital to keep Toyota Sequoia brake pads fresh by replacing them as they endure quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Toyota Sequoia maintenance schedule for the suggested mileage intervals.
- Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Toyota Sequoia brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined consistently for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Toyota Sequoia maintenance schedule for more facts on when your hoses should be replaced.
- Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Toyota Sequoia rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
- Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to initiate 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 Sequoia.
- Rotors likewise called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are various types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let Stevinson Toyota West find the best type of brake rotors for your Toyota Sequoia
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 also acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can also 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 also 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 equally distribute pressure against the brake disc. Usually, the more pistons in a caliper, the more equally the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.
How much do new brake pads cost?
Toyota Sequoia brake pads can cost anywhere between $150 per axle and $450 per axle depending on the type of brake pad needed. In some rare cases, they can be even more if the manufacturer requires a precise type of brake pad to be ordered for your Toyota Sequoia.

Toyota Sequoia Rear Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement

Some rear brakes can last up to 50,0000 - 80,000 miles, but you should ask your Toyota Sequoia service manual for advised maintenance intervals for all parts. Keep in mind you should invariably have your service department perform a multipoint examination which includes inspecting your brake system.
