I am not sure when they were last greased however they should have been inspected last year when I had the vehicle inspected by my mechanic. He is on holidays right now so I have not been able to talk to him. I will have a look at the joints tonight after work. There is no noise associated...

It feels more like a hesitation than a vibration. Or a non-continuous but consistent vibration. I does it all all speeds. I was on rough logging roads the other week and a friend suggested that I may have knock a balance weight off the drive shaft. This seem to start suddenly and not...

I have a stock 2002 4Runner SR5 4x4 with AT tires, 340,000 km and I have a rear/drive train vibration that I am trying to diagnose. I am feeling the vibration in the seat which has started recently. It does not feel tires as it seems to happen at all speeds. It is not a big vibration and seems...

I am in North Vancouver, Larsen Auto. I trust this shop. I also had the signs and symptoms of the problem so it was not real surprise when I was told the news. It just hurt like hell as I was hoping for some inexpensive fix. If it is running good get a second opinion. Don't tell the other...

I feel your pain. I have lost a valve also and yes it is costing a pretty penny to fix. More like a bar of gold ;) One of the things my mechanic looked at was, is the truck worth fixing? My truck is still in good condition and so it is worthwhile for me to fix it as I wish to keep it. If you...

No lube as these ones did not require it. Bought at part store which I have had no problem with them in the past When I had changed them last month I did not notice anything obvious in terms of rough surfaces on the metal however I will be sure to thoroughly check them this time. I am...

A month ago I changed my front sway bar bushings and as you can see in the picture they are already destroyed. One month! I had used stock bushings as I am only exploring logging roads and not doing any extreme off roading, but give me a break, it should last longer than one month. Any...

At least you got it in the hole ;) I had the same thing happen to me. Thankfully I was able to get it out first try with a small piece of wire. Good luck getting it.

Well this thread and your idea comes at a very good time for me. My son drove into an underground parking lot with the roof basket on and he broke the ends pieces or the roof rack. It is a Whispbar and from what I have researched so far I can not get the same model and pieces anymore. I am still...

Did the front brakes, I think they were getting a little thin ;)

Looks ugly

Something is wrong on my end then...hmmmmm

Is it just me or is the video gone? I do not see any video in the OP's post.
