HELP.. vibrations

[dermy]

okay i just purchaces my first lux in december its an 06 sr dc 4x4 d4d in the past few weeks ive started to notice a noise.

it starts to get noticable at around 50kph and the noise gets slightly loader when acceleration and also the speed of the noise gets quicker.

it kinda sounds like wosh wosh wosh.

at first i thought it might be a wheel out of balence but ive sinced change all four rims and tyres and the sounds still there.

any suggestions?

ive been searching the forum for a few days but i couldnt really find anything the same as this

Hey it could be a wheel bearing

[Ox Man]

sounds stupid but check wheel nuts too. rims may not be sitting on hub properly, check the distance between the hub and the rim.... may need spacers... vibration through the steering i take it?

[dermy]

wheels and nuts are fine

sorry I forgot to say there's no vibration thourgh the steering wheel it's through the floor

Has it had the recall done? Climb under and check gear box mounts too.... Not an ex mining or service vehicle was it?

[dermy]

how can I tell if it's been for the recall?

and no it's not ex mining but it is an ex fleet car for pjm

I went to the toyota web site, go to recalls,tail shaft, put in your vin number and it should tell you if it needs doing, I allso have a 06 and got it in Dec, and now booked in for the recalls x2, hope this has helped. Steve

I did that and it says mine needs it done but Im not sure if the
previous owner did it. I might go into Toyota tomorrow

[dermy]

I called up Toyota to get the recall done. but they said they can't till march due to not
having any stock till then.. useless

Have a look at the recall thread, pictures of the x2 fixes are in it
