    I have a 2017 Toyota Tundra Recently it seems like it vibrates when releasing the break at a full stop just before taking off again. This morning when I started it up that same vibration came in parked an idling. Any ideas


    Thanks, Ondy23

    Do you feel the vibration through the seat/steering wheel/floor or do you just hear a rattle? How many miles do you have on it?

    Any chance some of the heat shield bolts on your catalytic converters have rusted away leaving the shields loose to rattle?

    I’m not really mechanically incline so I apologize in advance but I have 42k miles on it and it seems to be in the front end. During the cold start this morning the rpm’s seems normal I’ll try to post a video when I get off tonight.

    Check your universal joints for excessive play.

    The video I recorded doesn’t play the sound I hear very well but after messing around in the gears and brake and steering wheel it seems to only happen when I release the brake and turn the steering wheel to either side slightly and then goes away if I continue to turn the wheel more. Almost like the steering pump is having to work harder for a moment. Also while in neutral I heard nothing. Have any ideas?

    If you are not mechanically inclined, then take it to a mechanic you trust. Looking for loose bolts like they said above is about the most easy thing you can do. If it is under the hood, you don't stand a chance.

    Visually inspect the power steering pump and fluid reservoir for loose hoses, leaks, etc. Add power steering fluid if reservoir low. Also check the serpentine belt tension and condition. Have somebody turn the wheel so the vibration occurs while you watch the engine bay with the hood up.
