Tire shop doesn't want to see a solution. They want to customer back in 4k miles when the tires wear. It took you a very short time to figure out the issue. Thank you for being an honest mechanic. That customer will spread the word about you.
This guy has to be my absolute favorite mechanic to listen to. Thorough, observant, meticulous to all details and methodical in troubleshooting approach.
I have to say that I am BOTH BLESSED AND IMPRESSED!!! The absolute world is in desperate NEED Of MORE Hard Working and HONEST mechanics like your self!! May God TICHLY Bless you for The integrity and work ethics that you CONSISTENTLY demonstrate in ALL your videos!!! Please move to Houston, Texas!!!!!…lol 👍🏻😁😇
Sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Alexander Cyrus i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Great job! Another demonstration of good analytical skill and thinking. However, I suspect that the violent shaking at high speed could be due to one of the 4 wheels not properly installed i.e. the screws forces not in good balance. When you rotated the tires, you inadvertently corrected the problem. It’s always great pressure to watch your video!
You actually make a really good observation!!! I saw the way he installed them and then torqued all the lugs back, I thought myself you know this guy is doing it the right way and I doubt the tire shops did it this way 😂😂😂. I’ve seen plenty of tire shops, and they always use the air impact and just give it a few “chugga chuggas” 😂😂😂
This is why every tire shop should have a tire truing machine. They could modify tire balancing machines to make it dual purpose, balancing and truing.
It's so much different when you can have a care up in the air, as one is much better able to diagnose all possible issues. Awesome work figuring this one out Petr! Greetings all the way from South FL.
As a DIY I have seen tires out of round . I have found them while the car was raised and spinning the wheel looking closely for high or low spots . I have also seen radial belts twisted . On very old tires it's not uncommon for them to go out of round before the tread wears out . A lot of shops play the DRY ROT Boogie Man . The slightest sign of small cracks and they try to scare you . Even if new , old tires seem to harden over time . The rubber seems to dry out .
Timing chain cover was a TSB. You are correct about rear stance being off. If anything, the drivers side should be lower due to fuel tank and battery being on that side. Passenger side spring hanger bushing is toast.
My 2005 Toyota Camry XLE for some years had that kind of vibration. Took it to the dealer, they couldn't figure it out. Took it back to Sears where I bought the tires, all they would do is check the alignment (BYE Sears). Next time I needed tires I turned to my old favorite brand of Michelin. What was found by another tire place and myself also aghast at not noticing myself, Sears had originally installed the wrong tire size! New tires with the correct size...problem gone! I too was thinking belt shift in one, had the tires rotated, no change. It was in finding that the car had the wrong tire size installed and not until I replaced them was the solution found.
Its been a good 20 years since I had a similar thing happen to me - new front tires fixed it . I don't recall any blistering or visible distortions, so what I believe happened was a minor delamination of the steel belt. As wheel speed increased, centrifugal force brought an increasingly annoying out of round condition into effect So... I marked that one up as pothoe damage. - 20k miles with good tread when changed out.
Here's my experience with a 2003 2wd Tacoma and high speed shaking. I went through the typical stuff. Two different tire shops, balancing, look for out of round, etc. I even bought two sets of tires, another set of wheels, new front struts, two alignments, etc. The cure, over a 100,000 miles ago was a BETTER MORE EXPENSIVE SET OF TIRES. As another said, you get what you pay for.
Were your spring clamps as loose as the ones on the passenger rear of this truck? Seems unless there is some serious flexing of the spring, that the replacement springs were thinner than the OEM springs, to have that much play in those spring clamps. Or they were supposed to be heated and pressed to fit the springs when being replaced under recall...
@@kramnull8962 no. I have over 190,000 miles now on the original rear springs. I don't know if the newer Tacoma has a different type rear spring, but mine have that "reverse" bend look that were that way since the truck was brand new. My truck has no modifications at all. Everything is at stock specs. The only recall this truck went through was the front end which the dealer forgot/didn't to do an alignment after the work so that destroyed the front tires.
I think prerunners have the same suspension setup as 4wd w/o the fwd function of course. My dad has the basic rwd 5 lug and we can't get suspension parts/brake parts meant for a prerunner, thats almost 100% of the time when getting new parts.
@@LAactor its always a message like - not proper fit, or incompatible, or fitment not guaranteed. So we always select the parts for basic 2wd non preRunner.
4:15 radial runout. There are Hunter balance machine that minimize the amount of shaking by giving the high/low spots of the wheel and tire, so that you can loosen the bead and align the tire low spot with wheel high spot. Also, balance machines have special shaft cones for toyota trucks/suv, so wheel could be centered to correctly balanced wheels Like how you look over everything for this diagnosis
toyota wheels should be balanced by the lugnut holes not with a cone in the supposed center they are lugcentric rims and probably could have cured most of that runout if he had a tire machine and could break it down and spin the tire 180 on the rim and reinflate it
Most likely, the vehicle has been driving a long time without an alignment. This will destroy any front tire. The only way to fix the problem is perform an alignment followed by a tire truing on all four wheels.
Please can you consider a video on Corolla clutch creaking. This is a very common problem and although there are uploads showing lubrication of slave cylinder, very often it is more than one single point requiring lubrication, such as the connection between fork and slave piston rod.
Great job sir I need a honest mechanic like yo self I bought 4 new tires and balance and wheel alignment done cv axle replaced I drive 40-70 vibrating very bad can you please give me some advice on wat it could be even had them rotate the tires still no fix
These days if you don't have a tire shop that does road force balance as well they will never really know if a tire is 100% or not. I dealt with alot of low profile tires before and without a road force balance you can get good numbers but the car shakes like hell. And the tire needs to have it's location changed on how it's set on the rim. Also if the center cone for the rim is not right you can get the all ok from the tire balancer, but still shake like hell at highway speeds.
Brake pads can be "skimming" the rotors with no smell and no obvious pad or rotor wear. This will shimmy like bad wheel balance. Test drive and check the rotor temperatures. If one is hot you can bet the caliper is not retracting fully. Replace the caliper.
Great video! FYI I seen you have a Toyota service sign in your shop. Toyota does not like their logos used in independent repair shops. I know this because I ran parts & service departments at Toyota dealerships for over 30 years. Best wishes
I replaced tierods inner and outer they was bad. Then got a wobble in steering beteeen 45-55 mph that got worse after driving 10 miles or so. Turns out it was a cv joint. Found that out after new tires and bearing. No noise at all. Changed both axles now drives like a new car. 2001 Corolla
Where would I go about getting a diagram for the hoses that go under the intake manifold ? I’m sure i reconnected them right just would like reassurance
i balanced and swapped my tyres and it still shakes at @ 110km/h, steering only. i will install new rotors then take it to another shop to get force balanced.
i have a 2001 sequoia limited and the sunroof is stuck in teh closed position. When i push the open switch it tries to open but appears to be stuck, Could it be a lubricant issue ?
Great video. Thanks Peter, you mentioned there was a recall on the timing chain cover oil leak. I have a 2007 Taco 4.0 V6 us this engine covered under that recall?
My 2008 Tacoma starts to shake past 25 and when braking. Tires were balanced and vehicle was aligned multiple time. Took it to Toyota I got new rotors and brakes no fix. I purchased brand new tires and Trd rims and got vehicle aligned and tires balance and issue still remains. Idk what to do anymore... let me plz bring you my truck
What is the address of your shop so I can drop off my 2011 Highlander for you to diagnose the source of front-end vibration after replacing front drive shafts (twice!), lower ball joints, stabilizer links, bushings, tires, balancing and more. Maybe I should give it up after 260K miles and move on, but otherwise, the car still runs like new. What more can be diagnosed and/or replaced?
Either that and or could be problem with caliper not saying its completely bad but guide pins that or faulty or strip can cause uneven brake wear and will eventually cause horrible braking and high speed and sometimes even notice arpund 5 mph or under when coming to a very slow creeping stop.
my 09 sienna does this. its after i rotated the tires and a certain part of the road on my way to work. it also hapens over 50mph. i hav no clu wat the problem is
So all u did is rotate? What about the leaf springs? I thought u had a loos leaf spring on the passenger rear? Is possible a rim want bolted down correctly?
I just had my wheels balanced but they still shake and I think that maybe the car ran into something when the teenager who owned it was driving and possibly warped the front CV axle where the wheel bolts on is that a problem too because it looks like it wobbles out of line with the tire like the wheel is not perfectly spinning in a circle but more of a wobble how do you check for that same as just turning the wheel?
My 2000 toyota prerunner 6cyl with over 200k miles the steering wheel vibrates when i go over bumps at speeds of 60-65mph and above and after the road gets smooth the vibration stops does anyone have any idea as to what the problem might be? Thank you
he has sailun tires in d front, he shud have installed branded quality tires, there are lotsa high quality branded tires for trucks, like bridgestone, michelin, yokohama, toyo, hankook, dey are pricier but are of higher quality
I have 4runner 2006 shaking at 25 mph when accelerate slowly but with strong accelerate no shake at all. Do you know what might be the problem? Thanks indeed
If you had a bad tire in front and you rotate it to the back, you should still have the vibration but it should be felt in your seat instead of the steering wheel. Did you experience the vibration in the seat after the tire rotation?

Because all tyres & rims are balanced on an electronic wheel balancer means nothing if rim & or tyre casing has run out.

I appreciate your repair approach.
love your videos. Very insightful.
Very thorough analysis 🧐
So what was the actual cause??
A tire had a bad spot in it? Wheel bent? Out of balance?
Thank you so much, that's what happen to my truck. The steering wheel rattled at 40-60 mil...
Great job sir I need a honest mechanic like yo self I bought 4 new tires and balance and wheel alignment done cv axle replaced I drive 40-70 vibrating very bad can you please give me some advice on wat it could be even had them rotate the tires still no fix

Are you located in Arcata? I also live in Humboldt and have watched your videos for a while.
seems you get what you pay for when buying tires.
He likely needs shocks. It’s nearly impossible to reliably and effectively test shocks. They are usually the culprit for this type of wear

Sounded like a broken belt in bad tire.
I'll be driving a t 65mph-80mph on FWY, when I break to slow down for traffic my steering wheel trends to shake kinda hard it's scary.
