thanks for the info guys. the wheel balance should be fine, as the new tires were put on last night. brakes are also on the newer side, so i'm gonna tentatively cross that off the list. as for the other things, i'm a novice. any good ways for me to check that stuff out? thanks again, mike

so the truck is a 97 4runner limited. basically when i break 50 my entire truck vibrates. or if i'm from 40 to 50 and i let off the acceleration, it does the same thing. i thought it might be the uneven wear on my old tires, but i got some goodrich at's yesterday and if anything, it's worse...

updates so far so, mechanics sometimes earn their keep. one of my calipers was #ucked up and was applying a constant pressure on the rotor regardless of braking. hence the vibrations when i gave it gas. so when the vibes seemed to disappear on my 2 hour drive to lexington, that was probably...

well the vibrations are the least of my problems now. the runner is a 97 but it's still decently quick. when my bro was on the highway yesterday he couldn't break 55. then 50. then 45. you get the idea. that's why he pulled off. so is that like a drivetrain issue? i'm baffled...

more problems. sweet. aight so my bro was on the highway yesterday and the vibes got really bad so he pulled off. as soon as he put the car in park, it died. cranked it back up, but he couldn't push on the gas. (not sure what he meant by this, i guess the pedal just wouldn't go down?) an hour...

got some questions. getting some vibrations, mainly on the highway. description (to confuse everyone): -->the vibes are in both the body of the car and the steering wheel -->the vibes get worse the more gas you give the car (in general) -->giving the car gas while rolling in NEUTRAL does not...

ha! well that brings up a whole nuther problem. i don't have a hitch. :wtf: not to mention expenses. i'm a college student buddy. you show me a trailer that's cheaper than racks and then we'll talk. mike

i'm looking for just the crossbars, the basket doesn't really work well for kayaks. thanks though. mike

here we go. i'm a kayaker and regularly find myself needing about six boats on my roof. yup, six. maybe more. sooo... this is what i've found. the factory rack for a 97 sucks. i broke the front crossbar cranking on a strap tieing boats, and it's currently splinted with a handy dandy yard stake...
