5th Gen Steering Wheel Shake: SOLUTIONS ONLY

Could be rotors starting to pulse if it only happens under braking.

 

And were did you get that information, Fux News?

 

nope SL

 

I had the gray trd wheels and had no shake. I switched to the black trd wheels and now have a shake. I have had 3 sets of different brand of tires and have had them balanced 5 times with road force and still have a shake. Two brands wouldn’t balance but the falkens are all under 2. It still shakes

 

Anecdotally...

My friend had the new style TRD black wheels on his old truck (2022?). No shake.

He then moved the same set of wheels/tires to his new 2024 truck. Shake. Tried new tires. Still shake.

Don't think it's the black wheels. But it could be lol.

 

It is annoying. I am surprised after all this time no one has found a definitive solution

 

I had a steering wheel shake for a while that felt like a tire was out of balance but sort of intermittent. I went around in circles the biggest change was installing the ECGS bushing, i also cleaned all of the mating surfaces on the rims and that helped a good deal but what finally completely fixed it was an alignment at a 4x4 shop. They spent 3 hours with the truck and it drives like butter now. I couldn't believe and just never knew that a bad alignment could cause what felt like an out of balance tire. Shop said it was common to get a shake from a bad alignment. Never knew.

 

My camber is off because I have a seized lca. It is barely out of spec. Does anyone know if that can contribute to the shake?

 

I had a steering wheel shake, researched it, and the 95% solution was to have Discount Tire do a road force balance. I've not read all 9 pages of this thread so I hope this helps.

 

I ask when i can and so far it seems E load have more shake issues than SL. So that makes sense.

 

Can you post your measurements?

 

Hello! My first post here; I'm a new member. Found my solution to this dilemma. Significant shimmy/shake in my steering wheel at highway speeds. Took the vehicle to a Toyota dealer to have the wheels road force balanced. I had suspension work a few months prior, including a new alignment, so I already knew an alignment issue wasn't the case. Toyota was able to road force balance three of my four wheels, and found the other to have excessive wheel runout. That wheel was on the front of the vehicle. Swapped it to the back and tested the vehicle for about a week following. The problem was gone. In process of putting a brand new set of wheels on my vehicle now. Can't live with a faulty wheel on my awesome rig moving ahead. I'm certain the new wheels will be great, too (Method Race Wheels). The set I had, including the faulty one, was KMC. My $0.02 on solving this problem...
