4Runner Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I have a 2000 4Runner with 178,000 miles. I have had a alot of maintenance lately and still have a vibration coming from the front. The following maintenance has been done. New tires, new brakes, rotors, calipers, u-joints and the tires have been rebalanced. The vibration starts at 60 mph and seems to lessen above 75 mph. Above 60 it happens wether the gas pedal is depressed or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if you have aftermarket wheels, sometimes they need centering rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humanoid Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Toyota rims are lug centric I believe whereas most other vehicles are hub centric. You should find a shop that has a Hunter Road Force balancer and/or a shop that uses a Haweka adapter for your rims. http://www.gsp9700.com/pub/features/how.cfm http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/tec...e.jsp?techid=40 http://www.gadgetonline.com/Vibration.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
