Steering wheel and car shake
92k miles 2011 sr5 ,
[email protected]
Rear toytec 2.
Spc uppers
New tie rods , rotors and pads, and end links
If I firmly press the brake pedal it shakes the wheel and you can feel a large vibration (it might be in my head but it feels more driver side )
Any ideas ,
I haven't checked under to see the lower control arm bushings if maybe that's it

Sounds like the rotors are warped.

When you say new, do you mean NIB Toyota OEM parts? If not, start there with Toyota OEM rotors.

If its shaking when you press the brake pedal start with the rotors and go from there.

Did it shake before you did all this work? If it did, is it worse or better or no change. A little more information would be helpful. Sounds like a warped rotor but you would really feel that in the brake pedal.

I am with you guys on the rotors as well. Very typical of a slightly warped rotor when applying pressure.

Steering wheel and car shake
I started know anything it when I put the spider TraX wheel spacers on I since remove the wheel spacers hoping that the shake would go away but it still is there I don't necessarily feel it in the pedal pedal the steering column and vehicle. Also the tires are true and balanced

Been down that path, having the toe in adjusted to max (.15IIRC) on both sides seems to have cured my highway speed and braking vibration.
My initial troubleshooting was exactly the path outlined above, some of it helped but nothing close to the toe settings.
I have not this adjustment for more then a few hundred miles so I can not comment on tire wear only to say " My alignment is still within Toyota Specs"

Like others have said....rotors. We had this same exact issue with our Tundra. Changed the pads and the vibration was still happening. Then changed the rotors and everything was smooth sailing

before you install the new rotors the hub assy must be cleaned wire brushed rust removed etc.... any crap on the hub will cause this problem.
If for some reason the calipers/brake pads are binding this will also do this. calipers should slide with not too much force. pads should pop in with no tools .. cal slide pins require a pink silicone slide pin brake grease not a petroleum based grease.

What brand pads and rotors did you install (cheap rotors and pads can sometimes result in premature "warping"), did you also follow the "bed-in" instructions regarding the correct procedure on breaking the pads in? Failure to do so may have "warped" the rotors prematurely and will require new pads and turning the rotors.
