What are the signs of bad brakes on a 2022 Toyota 4Runner?
Four clear signs are squealing, grinding, pedal pulsation, and longer stopping distances.

If your 2022 Toyota 4Runner shows a brake warning light or pulls during stops, schedule a check before damage escalates. Our Medford team documents pad thickness and rotor measurements so you know exactly what needs attention now versus later.
- Squeal from pad wear indicators or grinding from metal-to-metal contact

- Dash warning light, soft pedal, or increased stopping distance

Should I replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2022 Toyota 4Runner?
Replace both only if rotors are at/below minimum thickness, warped, or heat-checked; if rotors are within spec and smooth, pads alone may be fine.
Our technicians mic the rotors on your 2022 Toyota 4Runner and compare results to the minimum spec stamped on the rotor. Weāll explain options, from pads-only to pads-plus-rotors, with up-front parts and labor line items. This approach preserves performance while managing cost.
- Rotor thickness measured and documented versus minimum spec
- Surface condition checked for blueing, grooves, or cracks
- Clear recommendation: pads-only if rotors are within spec and true
