| On 1986 toyota 4 runners the hand brake is solely relied on to adjust the back brakes. the problem appears to be the bell crank boot does not sufficiently prevent corrosion between the bell crank and its frame at the backing plate. this causes the adjusting screw to not engage and therefore the back brakes do not function properly. with less force on the back brakes than the front brakes the front brakes tend to lock up. steering control is then lost.*ak | |||
