83 toyota 4x4 wobble

Dubshot · Nov 21, 2009

It wobbles from around 40+ to 50+ other than that its decently smooth. only lifted around 3 inches.. just got tires balanced.

was it doing it before the tires got balanced?
and what tires are you running?

Hi All:

I'd suggest getting the caster angle on the frontend checked-out.

Good luck!

Like bad? or just a slight vibration? check the drivelines. an what kinda tires?

My yota death wobbles are usually from my tires. Unequal tire pressure makes mine do it. Caster should be fine with a small lift.

Just running bfg km not the new crawler stlye but the ones before that.. I wouldnt think its the castor with a small lift but I guess its still possible.. the rear driveline i can wiggle a little not alot but barely.. I am not sure if it vibrated with the other tires I never had it on the freeway.. Its not horribly bad but its enough to make me worry about my idaho trip next weekend..

Driveshaft out of phase maybe(ears need to be at the same position up at the t-case and down at the diff), maybe a spun bearing race in the 3rd or a bad pinion bearing i have been told(think its my problem...), bad bushings up front, play in your tie rods maybe, make sure the shackle bolts are tight, knuckle bolts tight... Some suggestions for ya, im going through vibe issues to on my '80...

Got an alignment?

my rig with only 4 inches of lift vibrates the driveline at about 50-55, an then it gets smooth, just something i deal with. Do ya have a short driveline? Is your pinion angle bad? Also, check the lugnuts just in case.

I will check all these things one at a time so ill know where itcame from..

I am having the same problem

On this 88 4runner put a solid axle in went got an alignment helped a little but still does it .Running 36'' bias ply swampers which I am looking for more a road worthy tire radial hopefully fix the problem.If I go over 45 the wobble will shake your head off ur shoulders.

I would have to say that's your tires, bias tsl's aren't know to be drive great on the road.
