I guess I will be checking my ball joints and my rack.

Another update-I tracked down a used axle shaft, pulled the bad axle shaft, replaced the inner axle seal and installed the "new" used axle. Wasn't too tough. Had a little trouble getting the seal to set properly, or exactly how I wanted it. I'll keep an eye on it. I just drove it down the road...

Update on my 4runner. I broke down and took it to the Toyota dealership today. They diagnosed the problem as-bent right rear axle shaft causing the steering shutter and bad bearing on right rear wheel that ties in with the bent axle, which is causing the noise. Now I get to figure out what rear...

Both front wheels spin about the same-relatively free for a 4wd. Everything seems to be tight under it. I plan on replacing the LBJs soon as preventative maintenance. I do wonder if the ditch incident changed the camber.

I am dealing with the same vibration at 65-70mph. Looks like I will have my tires balanced and aligned to see if it helps.

Would the tire balancing help solve the grinding noise I am hearing?

I hate t resurrect this thread, but I am experiencing this same issue. Did anyone finds solution?

I have a 2000 4wd t4r with 188,000 miles on it. My daughter was driving down a gravel road and ran into the ditch on the right side. It pushed the front bumper in and broke the seal on the front and rear tires on the right side.I took it to a local tire guy who balanced the tires and checked...

Replace the radiator for sure. I had the pink milkshake.

I get the shake or shutter in my steering around 65-70 mph. Mine is a 2000 4wd Runner. Below that it drives perfect.

Bump

Throw a low ball price at him and see if you can get it for a deal.

If I were to install an external transmission cooler, what is the one most recommended?

JDM vs Junkyard engine In the same boat here as well. I am in South Carolina. My buddy suggests I go with a crate engine, but most people on here prefer a junkyard engine or a JDM. I have a 2000 4runner 4x4 with 183,000 miles on it. It is California emissions-I know this because I replaced a...

I live in the Columbia area too. You can get lucky and find one, but you have to be quick and have cash in hand. I bought a 2000 4 runner about 18 months ago for $4500 with 160,000 miles on it and it is 4wd. It has 183,000 miles on it now-but I may have to replace the motor due to the dreaded...
