I posted here some time ago re: my 2004 4Runner, V8, 4WD (80K) ... I've got the same problem and figured I'd give it another shot. So far, dealership has been unable to crack this one ... any help would be appreciated. When the wheels are turned hard (left or right), I've got a...

What year? My 2004 has a similar issue ... the dealership thinks the motor is weak and needs to be replaced. From what they tell me, it's a big job and rather expensive ... I've heard $400 or so for parts and labor.

I have a new (to me) 2004 4Runner ... my problem is that the front defroster sucks. A/C is on, fan on high, fresh air setting activated, defrost mode selected ... it does work but not very well. It just keeps up ... are they all like this? I hear the compressor cycling, so I know it's...
