    New to the forum, question about stock suspension travel

    My '06 V8 does the same thing over speed bumps. I don't think anything is wrong with it...just very little travel in the front.

    "whub-whub-whub" noise from rear ===>

    Took my 4Runner into the shop for the same sound this weekend, and am getting new rear diff and a right-side bearing. Weird that we are having these issues with such few miles!

    Rear Diff Gone Bad At 48K Miles???

    I'm wondering how different the LC setup is from the 4R? I have had a few FJ80's and they are known for their bullet-proof axles. Doesn't seem to be the case anymore, at least on the 4R...

    Rear Diff Gone Bad At 48K Miles???

    That is true..s**t happes sometimes, haha. Not sure which bearing went bad...don't know enought about whats in there!. Agree that I am glad I took it in before it failed and before I do the 1,500 mile round-trip mile Christmas drive. Even more glad I am getting it fixed while under warranty!!

    Rear Diff Gone Bad At 48K Miles???

    Hey everybody, I have been hearing a whine-type noise from my T4R ever since I bought it about 10K miles ago. I thought it was noise from the old tires I had on it, but I put on new tires about 4K ago and the noise is still there....and getting worse. I took it into the dealership this...

    NEW 4Runner Transmission Problem? Already?!

    ...Good way to put it. I'm taking to the dealership tomorrow due to a burning smell from the back tires/axle (smells like new brakes, but don't have new brakes) and am going to ask about the frequent changes in power when the A/C is on. I don't expect much progress. I'll let you guys know...

    NEW 4Runner Transmission Problem? Already?!

    I thought electric fans wouldn't typically be cutting on and off at highway speeds since the radiator/engine would be getting plenty of airflow. Is that not the case?

    NEW 4Runner Transmission Problem? Already?!

    Hey Guys...I absolutely agree with the recent posts above. At least for me, I have never experienced such an irritating feeling from a car that is "operating as designed." My last vehicle was a 2006 F150 with the 5.4L V8. I can promise you I never had any idea whether the A/C compressor was...

    NEW 4Runner Transmission Problem? Already?!

    Not really a transmission problem... Has anyone made any progress in finding a fix for this? I just bought an '06 V8 4Runner two weeks ago and have this exact same inconsistent acceleration changes when the A/C is on. My family has had 4Runners, Land Cruisers, a Tundra, a FJ, and a LX450 and...

    I have the same problem! Do you know how much the fix was? I think i'm out of warranty with an '06 and 41,000 miles. Thanks!
