My 1998 GS 400 (115,000 miles on vehicle) has a brake booster screech when applying brakes,especially when outside temp is cold. Screeching noise is usually quite short in duration and often goes away after driving for an extended time. I understand a new unit is quite expensive and is labor intensive to install. I'd like to know what options exist for repair. Also what would be expected if I just drive the car as is and wait until the pump fails to address the problem.

Labor should be 2.0 hours or less. Used unit is cheaper. If you can identify which part is the problem like the pump/ accumulator that can be bought separately new i think. car-parts.com is best place to look for used assembly- all of the electric boosters ( landcruiser, sc430, etc) are the same except for the reservoir
