PROBLEMS. 60 MPH Steering Wheel Vibration. 2017 4Runner TRD PRO Cement.
I don't know what's going on. It vibrates only at 60MPH when I apply brakes. I know you guys are GURU of 4Runner so asking for assistance. =) Some people claim it's rotor, brake, wheel balance issue.

I'd put my money on the rotors! How many miles do you have on your car? Do any mountain driving?

Warped rotor has the symptoms that you describe and from what I can see on the video. Not covered under warranty as its a wearable item. Ask me how I know. I developed the same issue in my wife's MDX once we moved from Florida to Colorado. Riding the brakes and heating up the rotors and causing warping. Some people would beg to say that a rotor cannot warp but I can argue that point easily lol. Change out the rotors or get them resurfaced. Might as well change out the pads too. Good luck! Update us.

Only when applying the brake? No vibration when just cruising at 60?

No. Just when I apply the brakes. Weird. That’s why I had to record it on my phone. Haha. Help!!

Warped rotor(s) if it’s only present when applying the brakes and otherwise absent. Definitely not a warranty item as it’s a consumable part.

Rotors

Yours is pretty mild

Had it in a Honda Odyssey and it was the wobble of death

Replaced with aftermarket rotors and never had the wobble again

Rotors. I got a new set of OEM rotors and OEM brake pads from Amazon. No more vibrations when applying the brakes.

Odds are your rotors are warped. You can try getting them turned. Pull and take them to Pep Boys and they's turn them for $25 for both. However, if you've developed a hard spot in the rotors, the vibration will come back in 3K to 5K miles. Then you need to get new rotors. I highly recommend Raybestos Advanced Technology or AC Delco Advanced Technology (same manufacturer) rotors.

Second possibility is worn shocks resulted in feathered or sawtooth wear on the outside edge of the tires. OEM shocks last about 80K miles, max. Replace with Bilstein 5100s.

Everyone above has it wrong, it's because it's cement, clearly.

to be fair, could also be the fact that it's a TRD Pro. it’s a complicated case, for sure.

Turning rotors is a waste of time. Get some Brembo's and a fresh set of OEM pads and call it done.
