FORTUNER VIBRATES (ON THE PASSENGER SIDE) BEYOND 110 KM/H

[Alex2539]

Hi there
Perhaps other fortuner drivers have experienced this. We have an 06 model Tuna, once the speed goes beyond 110 km/h i can feel it vibrating on the passenger side (also visible by observing the side mirror). Last year the dealer said it was the propshaft, they balanced it and replaced the joints. The vibration never disappeared, we changed shocks, balanced the wheels etc to no effect. We are currently using general grabbers. Mileage: 229000km

any advice?

Did balancing and new shocks make any difference at all?

I assume yours is the 4x4 right?

Mine also doing it. 2014 model 95000km on the clock

Some suspect it the tires, what are you running on yours?

Could well be the tires, swop the two fronts around and see if the problem follows.

Thanks will try

Hallo Alex. Uit ondervinding, wanneer daar vibrasie is en jou stuurwiel skud van die vibrasie, dan kyk ons na die voorwiele se wiel balansering, wiel "alingnment" en "bearings". As die stuurwiel nie skud nie, kyk ons na die agterwiele se wiel balansering, wiel "alingnment" en "bearings". Ander ding wat ek ook al geleer het, buiten Neil se voorstel, vat die agterwiel aan die passessier kant, haal die die band af en draai dit 180 grade om ( selfde kant van die band met die selfde kant van die rim - moenie dit flip nie) Dit is nou as jou vermoede reg is waar die vibrasie vandaan kom.

Yes, I agree and would look here. Also, have the rim checked for any flat spot or kink (buckled rim).
