Addendum to my odi 10150678: my reference to1/5/2006 napa "repair" was to no avail. Larger tundra pads alone do not solve the violent downhill braking problem that so many others also describe. 2/20/2006 mileage 35,800. 3/07/2007 mileage 41850. As can be seen driving in colorado terrain is being done most reluctantly.*jb
