For a job. This thread ended up taking more of a political turn. I just wanted to know about the additional wear and tear on the vehicle. Thanks for all the responses.

Thanks both. Wheel has excessive play. Going to replace the bearings and will report back if the noise has gone away.

I was afraid folks might say this. Those noises in the video are not normal for my vehicle. That sound like an electric can opener wasn’t there before…

It goes louder for sure. More speed, more noise

It does not. As long as the wheels are spinning, it still makes the noise.

I just posted that I’m moving to LA and I’ve had no problems with my vehicle, and bam, this arises. 1998, 5spd 2.7 with 160k miles. The noise happens in third and especially fourth gear around 45mph. Its coming from the engine as far as I can tell and it’s loud enough to be captured in the...

lol. point taken. figured it would be a good question to ask..going from farmlands to dense urban areas, so i'm a little unfamiliar.

I have a 1998 4runner, 5spd, 4 cyl. I've had it since 1998 so I know the maintenance that's gone into it. I've never had anything catastrophic happen -- i've been on top of all fluid changes like clockwork, and replaced the belts twice now. I had to change a starter and grease the zerks a...

thanks johnbyebye. The fix looks easy but when I got the part and went to my car: 1) i have no idea how I can possibly take off the bottom bolt 2) are these held on by screws or bolts? I can't even tell. Do you guys have any recommendations on how to take the old one off without removing a...

Hi Guys, Check Engine light went on and I got a p0120 code today and noticed RPM issues. Going to go ahead and change the TPS sensor after doing some research here on the forum -- I ordered this...

Kanoe, this absolutely does help. I did not even think about the 2L pop bottle. You also turn your wheel all the way to the left before you change it?

Sounds good, thanks John. I'll take off the skid plate and take a look at it and under there. I anticipate there's a small pool of oil just resting in there from the various oil changes.

Hi Guys, I routinely change my oil on my 2.7 4 cylinder 4runner, but I have had an oil leak for literally the last 3 years since I started changing my own oil, and it's always the same pattern: two small circles of oil under my call if I am parked on a hill (i.e. an incline). If I am parked on...

Hi Guys, I had a CB radio installed over the weekend. It routes directly to the battery (apparently the fuse box was "inaccessible"). Nonetheless, I tried to start the car this morning and it wouldn't turn over. -I heard no clicks, just wouldn't do anything when I turned the key. -My...
