    Low pitch rotational hum that varies with speed

    Went on a highway trip last week in my 98 4Runner Limited (202,500 miles). Got about 100 miles into it and the right front started to hooowwwlll so bad it drowned out the stereo. Slowed down to 50mph and it went in and out intermittenly. Strangly (I've read the other posts), the roaring got...

    97 4Runner 3.4 Limited, Mis-Firing

    I had a misfire in my 98 4Runner, a bad one. Replaced the single electrode plugs (that should NOT have been in there in the first place) with NGK dual electrode plugs. Runs like a banshee now and raised the MPG from 14(ugh) up to 18+ now. Well worth the $30. I have already made that money back...

    Stock rear springs on a 98 SR5 ?

    I have a 98 4Runner Limited....came "stock" with 16" rims. From reading the previous replies, I have to agree with the wheel swap at the "dock". As far as I know, the 98 came with 2 wheel options, 15" and 16". You were definately in the right by ordering the 16" springs. I found out a few months...

    1998 4Runner shocks

    Send me a message about your thoughts on the Sensa-Tracs after you install them and give it a drive. I was immediately pleased with them especially since the ones I removed I believe were factory original (1998). I've put about 1000 miles on them since the change out. I do have to say that the...

    1998 4Runner shocks

    1998 4Runner shocks. I decided to go with the Monroe Sensa-Tracs and I must say that I am completely satisfied with them. The back end no longer "hops" when I take a sweeper on exchange ramps on the highway. The back literally sticks now. No more white knuckle off-ramps! I drove about 80 miles...

    1998 4Runner shocks

    I am at a crossroads here with my 98 4Runner. It's new shock time and I can't decide between Gabriel Ultras or Monroe Sensa-Tracs. I'm not looking at Ranchos or anything else on the "higher end". I just want a good shock absorber mostly for pavement with an occasional weekend off-road skirmish...

    Seafoam?

    Seafoam it! Safe? I have been reading the seafoam threads here and it seems like it will work in my vehicle to. I have 1998 4Runner, 5VZ-FE 3400 V6 Quad Cam engine, 4WD, auto tranny with 201K miles. It runs really good especially since I put the proper dual-electrode plugs in it. However, the...
