What is this noise??!!

[samdajellybeenie14]

So I have this noise that sounds like it's coming from the wheel bearings but I went to the dealership and got the wheel bearings fixed and it's still making the same noise that it was when it had the bad wheel bearings in it. Also, when I slow down to a stop (applying light pressure to the brakes) from maybe no less than 35 mph, the whole truck shakes forward and back (not side to side) quite violently sometimes. It could be the tires because the tires that were on when I bought it a couple months ago where made in 2007 and had been sitting in one place for a while (starting to dry rot as well). If you guys want, I can try to make a video and hopefully capture the sound... Thanks!!

Sounds like the dealer made some money off of you.


I Would want my money back because they did not fix the problem. Take it back and demand satisfaction.

From what I have read, wheel bearings on the 4runner are very stout and usually don't go bad.

Flat spots on the tires would cause ride problems but they shouldn't make any noise so I doubt that is your problem.

Yeah I want my money back also! The stealership strikes again! also, do you know what could be wrong with it? On a side note, did you get your V8 conversion done yet? I've been looking at the thread and am excited to see what it turns out like! I'll put up a video and see if you can hear the sound if that helps any...

My 4wd 4runner dose this a little when i apply the breaks it shakes forward and back as well kinda like if the pads was grabbing and releaseing all the time. I have had cars in the past which did the same thing never knew what caused it.
