One problem related to brake drum shoes/linings has been reported for the 1998 Toyota Corolla. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Numerous revisions to the part number for brake pads. Toyota is saying that the owner has to eat the cost of their mistake that they can't seem to get right by purchasing the new pads, shims, and other components that go with it. If Toyota sold the cars with the wrong size pads then Toyota should eat the cost. I have been to the mechanics 6 times in as many months and my brakes are still messed up.
