The idea of it being the ac pulley bearing occurred to me too. Didn't really change turning the ac on and off but that probly doesnt rule it out. Could be the power steering pump cause the whine is kinda like that but sound not coming from there. Still rollin.

Hello. My 05 v6 4runner has developed a rattle at idle that transitions to a whine at higher rpm's. Coming from left front of the engine. Sound familiar to anyone? We are 900 miles from home ending a 5500 mile road trip. She's still runnin so we're still goin. Thanks for the help.

Funny that a powder coat ad came up when I posted that. Never heard of them.

shop around for powder coating prices and try and get a reference on the shop if you can. You should be able to get your wheels done for $150 ish.

Crawling around is next. I'll see what I can find, thanks. If I can't find anything, I might let the Toyota dealer have a shot at it. My local shop guy is pretty good and he could hear the sound too but couldn't find it anywhere, even up on the rack running in gear, going around with a...

Hello. New member here, love the forum. I have an 05 limited with the V6 and without XREAS. It has a faint grinding sound coming from around the mid to front center when cruising at about 30-40 mph with no load on it. About the same kind of sound as a pad worn to the metal but not as severe...
