Same boat as me. I traded in my 2017 4Runner after chasing this forever on a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2. Fantastic steering feel on these Chevy trucks.

Hello all, I sold my 2017 4Runner back in oct 2018 after dealing with this for a year and a half. I work at a dealership with access to hoists and ever tool under the sun. I tried new wheels, new tires stock rims with new tires and probably 5 plus alignments. Also loosened the whole front end...

Hello everyone. Just happened to be scanning and saw my post come up. I actually sold my 4Runner due to the front end feeling like a cheap piece of junk. Nobody could solve it after multiple dealer visits. Was having an issue with steering shake at highway speeds and put on 2 different sets of...

Close. Put about 3-4 thousand KMS on it with I think 2 dealer visits. The forum goers on here swayed me to buy new wheels and tires which some said was a fix/made it better however the issue was still present. Just tried to live with it while performing many alignments/balances for about...

Funny I just made a post and did the same thing the other day. Except I purchased a ZR2. Congrats on the truck!

OWNER SHIP TAKEN OF THE ZR2. Love this thing. No issues thus far but we will see how that plays out. I will post an update in a few months time.

Only one dealer in town and they suck in this whole experience to say the least. Swapped from stock to aftermarket and back to stock. Same thing.

No video of the shake. Some days you could see the steering wheel physically shaking tho. Other days would be less of a shake where you could not see the wheel moving only feel it. Had stock / bought the Ko2s and fuel wheels you see in the avatar then sold and went back to stock for another 8k...

That thought came across my mind however no other people have had to do this on the 4Runner that I could find. Speeds are above needle bearing signs from my reasearch too. Lift did nothing as this all started the night I took it off the lot 100% stock. I’m sure it’s simply the geometry that...

First vid is user error. Second vid is an old blazer and third vid.. that was the one that almost stopped my purchase. Not a common issue and has been rectified. I am fine having issues that are fixable/replaceable. I work at a luxury dealer in town and also have many good friends at Chevrolet...

Had stock tires on trail rims and K02s on Fuel wheels.

Well.. the steering vibration finally put me over the edge. I am trading in the 4Runner tomorrow for a 2019 Chevy ZR2. It’s got the tires, got the lift and adequate wheels that have a nice flush offset and a great ride. Steering is EPS without going over board on numbness. It is a pleasure to...

Do not use bg. I am in the car industry and personally know how big of a bs it is. Beware.

Yes definitely will not change the wheel balance. I think more of his questions relates to being that these trucks STOCK are so sensitive to any imperfection does this planted feel also numb some of those issues. Given the change in geometry thinking it may possibly lessen the tire balance...

I would like to know this as well..
