Thanks, I missed that in my search!

I have a 2021 4Runner that developed an odd noise that sounded like it was coming from the driver's dash or firewall area. It only occurred over 15mph and drove me nuts. It got progressively more annoying over the last 10k miles. The noise only seemed to happen in colder/dryer weather and I...

Anyone have a recommendation for a tire shop or dealer in the Triad area that can reliably balance tires on a 5th Gen? I’m on my third 4Runner/Tacoma and have yet to find a shop/dealer that knows what they’re doing. Decided on some KO2’s and TRD Pro wheels. The dealer I used claimed they had...

I had my brakes/rotors replaced at the dealer last weekend and I just noticed that there is a squeal from the rear wheel (i assume driver's side) that increases as I increase speed. It doesn't stop if I hit the brakes. The vehicle has driven fine all week until my ride home tonight when I...

It's pretty immediate, but I have had instances where the balance was bearable, but then would get worse after a few weeks. The steering wheel also shakes more when the tires are cold. I had them balanced properly by the dealer once, but as soon as I had them rotated, they were out of balance...

Supposedly, although I've had them remounted 2 or three times. I'm at the end of my rope and tired of wasting time. I'm writing the Goodyears off at this point.

I appreciate the advice, but that's the machine my dealers used. No luck. Either these tires are crap (which some tire dealers have alluded to), or you really do need the Haweka adapter. I'm off to buy some Cross Terrains or LTXs. Apparently Goodyear is having some internal union issues and I...

Search the forum for Haweka and lug centric. Our wheels need a special adapter to properly center the wheel on the balancer. Without it, it's very difficult/impossible to properly balance the wheels. I too had Discount Tire try to balance mine. They even replaced two of the tires under...

I can tell you where not to go - Cox Toyota in Burlington, Rice Toyota in Greensboro and Fred Anderson in Raleigh. I've either called or had my tires improperly balanced at those locations. Discount Tire in Greensboro and Burlington don't have it either. A lady at Haweka checked around and...

I'm having a hell of a time getting my GWSA's balanced on my '08 and I'm at the end of my rope. I've spent close to $400 trying different dealers and local shops that claim they have the right adapter to balance my wheels, but none are the Haweka brand. I've called Haweka in Cornelius, NC...

I too had a flickering bulb on the passenger side of the display. If you can change the oil in you car or synch an iPhone to your computer, or are breathing, you can easily fix this problem. If the bulb is flickering, it's not bad, you don't need a new one. The problem is with the electrical...

Thanks. I was afraid of that. I'll check into BT speakerphone options that I can hardwire for power.

I'm looking at doing this for my iPhone 4 and the USA Spec PA-15. I have a few questions: -Can I add a mic to the PA-15 to enhance speakerphone calls and have the call routed through the stereo? -I'm using the Navigon GPS software on the iPhone 4. Will it pause the music and pipe the voice...

I'm north of Greensboro. '08 with BFL on the back window. ;):

Same here. It's happened to me twice, but only while flooring it on an entrance ramp (same ramp both times).
