  1. I have a 2005 ES330 with 100k miles

    the parking brake basically drops to the floor.

    It does not work in any position, simply putting it in gear reverse or drive it will start rolling.

    Though as of right now if it is pressed all the way down as far as it will go it will hold the in gear rolling but nothing more.

    From what I understand, the parking brake on this car is a drum unit with the regular rear brake as discs.

    It was never used much but does it wear over time? Do the shoes need to be replaced or do I need an adjustment somewhere?

    I've never replaced drum shoes before or adjusted an ebrake on drums, any tips on what to do? I've only done it on disc brakes.

    2nd issue

    If the car is stopped and I jiggle the steering wheel quickly turning left and right like quarter turns or so something in the steering shaft knocks. If I get down under in the footwell and rest my hand on the shaft that enters the firewall I can feel it knock.

    At first I thought it was worn front swaybar endlinks since my other car did something similar when they were worn. I swapped them for new ones and the noise and knock went away. Shortly after it came back. I guess that wasn't it?

    Any ideas on what that is?

    Thanks :cheers:
