My runner started this about a week ago. It only happens maybe 25 to 50% of the time which tells me it's not a rotor. Shakes the steering wheel a lot but not the brake pedal. Anything common with 4th gens ?Ball joint? Wheel bearing? Any ideas? Thanks.

You might try starting a new thread for your Question. This thread is 10 years old.

Mine was "tolerable" for about 2 years then over the course of 6 months it went from tolerable to sounding like a 2 cylinder tractor all the time.

The wife and I are driving from Indiana to Wyoming the last week of August. We will be doing dispersed camping, trail riding and fly fishing some rivers and lakes. If anyone is familiar with the area, we were wondering which range would be more recommended or possibly any other areas ? And any...

Yes it is. Seems most people report it happening around 100K miles, give or take.

I love my V8 and would not want the v6 but I agree they are not for everyone. As many have mentioned there is Timing belt expense every 90K miles and as a few have mentioned, the very expensive exhaust manifold expense. It's not IF they will crack but WHEN. The oem style has never been upgraded...

blackoutt did you ever find a P0420/P0430 solution after your header install? I got the codes almost immediately then add O2 spacers I still throw a P0430 about once a week. Would you try 1 more spacer on Bank 2?

Also I would recommend getting a Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner. They start at about $5 on Ebay and Amazon. I spent $30ish and have never had problems with mine I don't know about the $5 ones. There are free apps for smart phones that will scan and clear engine codes. They are not as "Full Featured" as...

So only the VSC Trac and VSC Off lights came on? The engine light did not come on?

I don't have my 3rd gen anymore but I looked for a reasonably priced set for years. I ran across a set of 4 - 5 star 4Runner wheels on CL for $250 if anyone is interested. They are in Syracuse, Indiana (between South Bend and Fort Wayne) No affiliation to me what-so-ever just thought I'd post...

My son-in-law and daughter live in Japan just outside of Tokyo. He is in the Navy. They are returning this summer and he wanted a 4runner or Taco. I had a 3rd gen and loved it now I own a 4th but still wish I had my 3rd. I started looking for one for him and ran across a 2002 Sport. It was...

The mod is covered in detail here. It begins with a rather rudimentary method and if you read on it progresses into using the factory switch. Many different ways to do it along the way...

Please check it if you could and post it up here. Thanks. Once it is determined I will post it on the Main VSC mod page for future modders.

I was trying to find out because most switches like you ordered are NO (Normally Open). The switch you bought will have the VSC ON or normal when the switch is turned "ON" and VSC OFF or disabled (VSC dash lights on) when the switch in the "OFF" position. In a nut shell it will work fine but it...
