R/wheel vibration...torsion bar...

[astar4runner]

Around 60-65 front right bouncing alittle.
I've had wheel balanced twice.
Would below torsion bar bushing cause bouncing?

Braking hard between 55-45 steering wheel shakes.
Steering wheel shake: warped rotor right? Or due to bushing mentioned above.

Your bushing is toast! It's quite normal at those miles "actualy probably happend sometime ago but just now getting bad enough to feel". They're easy as pie to change. Just go buy two new bushings from the dealer, unbolt the U clamp that sits over the bushing, pull the old out, wiggle the new on "should be split so you can fit it over the bar", and retighten the clamp back over the bushing. I wouldn't mess with the rotors or anything else until you fix those bushings. Get two "one for each side". Bushings are like shocks; you want to do both sides, otherwise the new one will quickly reveal the flaws of the old one, and you'll be right back where you started.

thanks again nc211...

Should I go OEM or get a pair of polyurethane? I tend to go off-road, not off-roading to get to put-in's for kayaking.

stick with oem. the other types can sometimes squeek so badly, it can drive you nuts. For a part like this, which isn't that expensive, the $5 bucks you'd save for aftermarket, wouldn't be worth it, in my opinion.

I'm so glad that ylou posted a problem like this but not that you had a problem like this if that makes any sense at all. I too have been experienceing a problem like this on my front left wheel. mostly vibrates when slowing down. I will definitely check my bushings and hopefully that is the source and not a warped rotor. let us know if that was the solutoion.
