    i need help I’ve tried and replace just about all that I can with my 2000 4Runner SR5. I have this vibration on my steering wheel that’s annoying and no one been able to diagnose. When driving at 60 mph I feel a vibration on the driver side, when braking the driver side rotor pulsates. I replace the driver side rotors 4 times, struts, shocks, tranny mount, balances drive shaft, tie rods, driver side caliper and brakes. Does someone else have these issues? HELP!!!

    Tacoma whip, 99 console box, tru trac., steering wheel, PWMS and HVAC control out of a 99.
    If you can check the runout of the hub itself.

    I had a similar thing a little while back. Took it to a shop and they flushed the old brake fluid out and put new stuff in, the pulsating braking went away but not the vibrations. Anyway I don't know if this extra detail will help but the mechanic said I'd need a new brake booster soon. As for the vibration it turns out Ill need a new wheel bearing soon. Best of luck though :thumbsup:

    I would say check the hub runout if possible. Sounds like you've eliminated everything else. Can you run the truck in 4wd on a 4 post lift? It makes it really easy to determine if the braking issue is related to the truck being under load or not.
