Thanks a lot sir, I had the same issue with my 06 4runner. It coast my a lot for changing the cross joints and it was still exist then after your video i have found front brakes piston stoked. Now it has gone. thanks a lot.
Another informative video thank you , my Tacoma still,shakes a bit at 46/48 even after the dealer gave me a new Toyota drive shaft with new spiders , it’s much better but not perfect
I have a 2003 Tacoma 4 door Prerunner that I bought new. It developed a high speed shake. I had it aligned several times, tires balanced at two different tire shops, changed four tires and it still had the same shake. I then had the front struts replaced but that didn't help. I rotated the tires front to back and that cured the shakes, so had the rear tires balanced again then put back on the front. The shakes returned. Changed the front two tires again. Shakes continued. Replaced the front two wheels, still shaked. Replaced all four tires with a more expensive set and that cured the shakes! Two sets of brand new tires were the problem.
I've mentioned in a prior video/comment that I had a recurring high speed vibration from the front of my 2005 Camry. Changed the brakes (due given the miles), and what the end result was the prior tires were the wrong size for the car that promoted the vibration. You just never know the source sometimes! It can evolve to multiple issues that have to be isolated away from the source. Wasn't balancing of the tires, wasn't the alignment, wasn't known to be the tires...until I replaced them to realize the wrong size was put on! No vibration since. Sometimes, in early year engines it would be loose engine mounts (GM). My issue was persistently looked into for vibration and it wasn't until I replaced the tires to find them the wrong size to be the issue. Goodbye Sears. Store closed, no more screwups. Love my Michelins despite the cost.
Just had same problem with my 4RUNNER, while at it I replaced pads and rotors. At 220,000 miles I also replaced dampers all the way around. I will never get rid of my 4RUNNER.
My tacoma vibrates pretty bad at 55-60mph. Im thinking wheel balance, because it gets better or worse depending on how warm/cold it is outside (tire pressure). Possibly alignment, as the camber adjustment bolts are seized. Thoughts? Truck has had the wheels balanced a couple times, but I didn't let them use sticky weights (they keep flying off)... how hard is it to get a great balance with only the rim weights?
The danger of the torque gun isnt that you won't torque the lug nuts tight enough, it's that you will torque them unevenly bending or warping the brake rotors. That's why even if you check with a torque wrench after the damage is already done. Who knows, maybe uneven torquing is what causes this problem over all these years.
Re: Transmission. I hear a whirring in the lower gears. My truck has 127k miles and doesn't make that noise. My old 4runner with same transmission and 298k mi did NOT have the noise. Low/wrong oil in transmission I bet.
Hi, just found your channel. I have an 08 sienna that when I give it gas around 45mph the car shakes the steering wheel does not shake or vibrate but any speed above 45 when I accelerate it vibrates can you help
So the loose spring is ok?! Was it the tire rotation that fixed it, or was it the taking off the wheels and putting back on that fixed it? You should put the tires back 8n their original position and see if it comes back. What exactly about the tires caused the Res more to this story.
Nice job homie..... Ive gotta change my brakes soon, and buying bearing full assemblies with hub ,turning the rotors, ball joints etc. So I may as well do everything while I have it apart....What do you think? Its gonna need them anyways...
I have a 2005 Tacoma prerunner that had the center bearing and two rear u-joints replaced by a mechanic. Now truck shakes at take offs from stand still only. Any idea what has gone wrong. Truck was not shacking or shattering prior to the repair. Thanks
I had a new 1986 Camry that from day one, had a vibration that no one ,not even the dealer was ever able to fix. Under current laws that would have been taken back under the lemon laws
I changed one time with Maxlife on two different toyotas. 1MZFE and 2GRFE and both transmissions did not like it. Slow hard shifting when cold. Like not enough pressure. Automatic both. Do not do it. Alwats use Toyo recommended, Synthetic is not always better. Dexron III for older 90's, T-IV for semi old, newest is WS, mid 2000's+. Now on maybe second ws spill and fill after the Maxlife and just better now. Heard trans whine as well. More than usual for this Toyo vehicle.
Huh, that’s interesting, I ran maxlife in a 1mzfe w/ A series trans and another with U-series trans both from around 160k miles and both cars made it to 300k using maxlife flushed a gallon of it through the trans oil cooler every 5th oil change or so and dumped a bottle of lubegard. Been doing the same thing in an 04 prerunner with 5vx and A series trans that calls for T-iv and it shifts brilliant. Most the the toyota cars after 2000 will not shift out of first until trans fluid gets to certain temp, around 135* I believe. Best to drive off slowly for a couple minutes until trans gets up to temp, but I’ve had nothing but good experiences running maxlife ATF as a replacement for T-IV and older Dex III applications. I also use it in a pair of honda automatic transmissions, gasp I know sacrilege, but it has been doing fine too!
Nice job buddy I have a 2018 tundra with 4045 mile and steering wheel shake at 60 to 70 mph pls help the dealership say it is normal what do you think thanks in advance.
Your customer has a cracked windshield (California Vehicle Code 26710) and the CHP or local police will cite for equipment violations. It's much cheaper to fix the window than get a citation as you pay the fine and still be required to fix the windshield.
Great information 👍 My son’s Tacoma is steering is shaking at all speeds, especially when breaking from high speed to a gradual stop. Any ideas or advice will be appreciated. Just subscribed, thanks for your videos...
@JEJU S CLASS 600 Thanks for the advice 👍 My son bought new rotors/pads and it was easy to replace. Now the Taco brakes smooth without any wobble. We also replaced the drivenshaft carrier bearing. He's happy with the repairs we made and loves going 4 wheeling with the fiancé on the weekends 😎
Same thing here. If I accelerate slowly my caravan 2005 will shake at 40mph and stops doing it at 45. If I let go the accelerator it will stop vibrating. It only shakes while accelerating it. Did you find what was going on with yours?
Sttroner I think u joints maybe since the last post I’ve been getting a squeal while accelerating at low speeds. Mine hasn’t gotten worse and it doesn’t seem to affect its driving it’s just annoying I’ll just keep on driving the way it is
It the suspension ( control arms or sway bar links) or the motor mount or wheel alignment.... had my control arms replaced today rides better but the shake us there they say the sway bar links r bad too.....smh
Merry Christmas sr The family suv. 2005 sequoia vibrates the rear end a lot under acceleration on 45-60 what's could be I I depresses the accelerator gone away so any clue drive shaft balance???
haha you completely overtorqued those wheel nuts. The fact the torque wrench clicked immediately shows that. Hilarious but sad that you called that "perfectly torqued".
@@DeLL116 The point is that the torque wrench didn’t turn before clicking. That shows the nuts were over-tight already. They could be anywhere from perfect to stripping or breaking point and what he did would indicate/click exactly the same.
i love your videos but please don't feel you have to film yourself driving, especially not looking into the camera. Drivers need to always keep their attention on the road. Again this was very educational for me. I started looking into replacement rear calipers for my Corolla because when I recently did new front rotors & pads, I inspected the rear and found the exposed part of the piston looks rusty. Not sure it's good to push that back in when I replace the rear pads soon. I read it may damage the dust/fluid seals. It didn't occur to me I wouldn't be ABLE to push them back in lol.
Its a good idea for mechanics to video the processes of repair. Customer confidence is important. Good Job sir
We need good honest mechanic like you here in San Antonio texas..
It's hard to find one man...I'm from San Antonio to
There is a good one at Shell gas station by 281 and 1604
My brother in law just moved there and he’s a machanic. I can warranty you he’s one of the few honest mechanics.
Love this channel! 🤘🏽

Great video! Happened to me last year. Replaced both calipers. Worked like a charm!

Change trans oil

i think i saw a video about brand new tires that are not perfectly round. what brand were the bad tires?
@@vincentco7995 brand X. Honestly, it was so long ago that I can't remember but I know they weren't "name brand" tires.

had to replace mine on my 4runner. I had to trim the dust shield away to fit the replacement calipers(NAPA store). New pads from the dealership, too.

And was gonna get those Akebono pads. Heard they were high quality all around. Dust , noise, wear, and stopping.

man needs a new windshield too!
Going to try it
My 04 Tacoma v6 shakes exactly at 58 mph too. So it was the driver brake caliper that caused it correct? Thanks for the video
does the steering wheel also shake or just the whole truck?
I had a new 1986 Camry that from day one, had a vibration that no one ,not even the dealer was ever able to fix. Under current laws that would have been taken back under the lemon laws
You might want to change the trans lube with SYNTHETEC gear oil.

Love your videos.
I have a 2000 T4R that vibrates at 60 mph could this be the same issues as this vehicle you repaired?
Try looking at ujoints or carrier bearing
Hey so I’ve got a 2005 dodge Dakota that vibrates at 35-40 mph but when I let go of the gas it stop and if I go above or below those speeds no issue
Jamie Espinoza have you found the problem I’ve got an 07 with 190000 miles with the same problem

@@westleysellers537 yup ujoints
penetrating fluid to move the caliper piston?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Toyota made the 1/4 and 3/4 marks on the fuel gauge a little asymmetrical yikes
Is it just me or are you regularly diagnosing Tacoma’s with shaking problems ??!!
Happening to mine, its a nightmare trying to diagnose the actual problem.
I have a Toyota sequoia 2006 and when I'm driving at 25 to 30 mph it's shake, do you think it's could be a transmission problem? Please answer thanks
It the suspension ( control arms or sway bar links) or the motor mount or wheel alignment.... had my control arms replaced today rides better but the shake us there they say the sway bar links r bad too.....smh
Same year and problem here 🙄 it's going into the shop.
Where is your shop located?
Looks like he's in Cali
i have a shake at 68 mph not 70 not 65 ... 68 mph... ford explorer 1997 XLT ... recently replaced rotors
