forgot to update...it was u joints all along. it wasn't installed properly so CARTER RACING in savannah spotted it and fixed it in less than an hour. and i got my $ back from the first autoshop. with all these new parts, the truck should be good another 100k miles :)

no bueno...still the same. now it kinda feels worse when decelerating when there were no issues during deceleration before the new u joints.

no signs of a leak. replaced front shocks today, components in the area all looked good. keeping my fingers crossed for a smooth ride at 108 tomorrow.

i want to cry. u joint def needed the replacement and i test drove around the neighborhood last night and it was a smooth ride. went to school this morning and once i got up to around 55mph, started hearing a crazy rumbling drumming sound. even when i let off gas. WTF

so even after having 2 guys inspect the u joints, i took your advice and replaced them. SURPRISE SURPRISE!!! it fixed the problem!!! i can't believe i've been driving around paranoid this whole time when it was the u joints all along! i can't wait to give my knowledgeable friend some...

it's so hard to explain...i guess there is a little resistance with the rubbing. or i'm resisting to go any faster...i feel it in the pedal, the steering, floor board, i see it in the mirror, i hear it when i have something in the cup holder... definitely not hearing any scraping.

update...haven't done anything new but i'm noticing more and more of this "grinding" feeling. that wasn't the right word though...i guess kinda like rubbing. now it's anytime i'm pushing the gas pedal past 40mph. the bumpiness/shakyness is still there at any speed but that's prob the worn...

thanks, will update my profile info. yea the engine check light never came on which was weird so i hope it's not malfunctioning. but i was with the mechanic every step of the way and he was nice enough to explain everything. when he was doing the sensor reading, the upstream was reading higher...

everything was shaking and yea, the rear view mirror's shaking. i did talk to a lot of people and had them all drive it around, check everything and no one was able to figure out what the problem was. i did the work myself and just had a friend help me with the brakes so i'm not spending a lot...

i don't know if i'm imagining it but it seems to be getter everyday...i guess the new sensor fixed it and it's just taking a while for the comp to catch up?

had this problem before and replaced the starter. fixed the problem.

i am having the same problem. my u joints were inspected by 2 people and they both said they were fine. my upstream O2 sensor was reading off so replaced it and it's better but still shakes. it happened out of no where and i want it fixed cuz i'm scared to go on the freeway. advance website...

i'm trying to do research on my 4runner...shaking too and been trying this and that. one of things i've tried was having a friend replace brake pads and got the rotors turned and he's a smart guy so i trusted him not torquing the nuts but now i should check. i'm new at this but i know how to use...

only in drive. since replacing the O2 sensor, i notice it most at 25mph and around 65mph. haven't gone past 65 since i'm a bit nervous now.

thanks, i checked and they're good
