Constant vibrations

I just joined the forum after reading your issues because I'm going through the same runaround about tires.... After I have more information on what they're going to do after I go for a test drive Monday with the service department I'll update to what they find.

 

My '21 had a little more vibration today after I had it in for service. I think it is either more air in the tires 34 PSI is my usual and now it is 37-38 PSI. Or it is the fact that I didn't have my normal payload in the 8 foot bed or my trailer...the weight and/or trailer must settle her down a bit as far as vibration.

 

Wrong lugs nuts; unbalanced drive shaft; bad or cheap lift/ too large of an angle for trans-axel shafts; cheap rims - won't hold balance; worn bushings in LCA / UCA - won't hold alignment; broken tire side bead/sidewall; wrong type wheel spacers; poorly balanced tires; bad CV joints; Lemon.

 

Hi,
I purchased a 24 limited crewmax with the 6.5 bed and took it on a 1.5 hour trip as soon as I got it, with 20 miles on the thing…I noticed a slight vibration from 1200-1800 rpm. Ive noticed it every time I’ve drive It since, I have about 500 miles on this thing…and it sucks. I’m not sure if it’s driveshaft or transmission, that’s what I’m leaning towards at least. The 10 speed on this thing sucks, I feel like it vibrates in between gear changes…I’m not a fan. Other than that I don’t mind the truck and I hate having to deal with these dealers but I have to address this. I read somewhere that people who are having this issue have the 6.5 bed, is this true on your guys case??

I have 3 Toyotas in my driveway and man this has been the biggest disappointment!

 

I'm in the same boat as the rest of you. Hopefully someone finds a solution because they aren't giving these trucks away and I don't even want to drive mine. The vibration is literally diving me mad

 

My steering wheel has a bad vibration when I change lanes. Maybe the engine needs to be balanced.

 

do you have the lane departure on?

 

If there is any way you can measure the vibration frequency that would be a big tell. You can easily calculate the RPM of the wheels at any speed and if the frequency matches it is the wheels, if it is about 3.5 times higher it is the drive shaft. If Toyota wont do it, i would find a used drive shaft and swap it out.

 

It’s difficult to describe but I’ll give it a try. When traveling at hwy speeds there is a vibration in the steering wheel and gas pedal that is cyclical. It occurs every second and increases and decreases in intensity in repetitive fashion. It’s not a loud vibration other than you feel it. I’m wondering, is this the bearing issue about to rear its head as a breakdown or something else. The veh is a hybrid and 4wd. Anything in what I’ve described happening to you?

 

A good way to diagnose vibration source is to use a app on your cell phone and measure the frequency. then do the math for tire circumference and what speed you are traveling when you measured it. If the frequency (divide by 60, Hz is per second, RPM is per Minute) equals the tire RPMs approximately then the vibration is coming from a wheel or tire. If it is approximately 3X higher (wheel rpm multiplied by axel ratio) then it is driveline.

 

Trying to revive this topic. 2024 Tundra Limited CrewMax (non hybrid). The vibration is driving me insane as I do a lot of miles and live in truck most days.

I’ve tried troubleshooting tire issues, but doesn’t seem to be the issue. I’ve even played and swapped around the hydraulic cab mounts. No luck.

It seems that it may be a vibration caused by wind. If I’m cruising open air it seems to be smooth as butter. If I get behind some vehicles, some larger, it seems much worse. As others have mentioned it moves from pedal, seat, steering wheel. All over as if it’s moving through the cab. Wondering if it could be auto air dam? Or some other wind related issue

 

Ah The good old vibration. I just recently bought a 2018 Platinum and it vibrates along the road. I can feel it shake the body and slight steering wheel. I recall when I had a 2018 sport it also shook because I posted on this form both vibration issues. The current Platinum I have have new tires. They're the Michelin LTX, they cost the previous owner $1,500 just for the tires. That's some expensive tires if it vibrates. No, I'm not certain.

Any case I test drove a 2022 Tundra hybrid before purchasing this vehicle and it shook as well. I'm not sure what to say.

But I do have a nvh app that I ran and here are The results of my truck.

I'm not sure what to do myself, it doesn't bother me too much but it does in a way.

 

Thanks!! I have the same app with similar results. I put in Fox 2.0 all around (more so to level it) but same ride quality. I know I’m very picky/over sensitive to these things. But it’s annoying! Especially when I drive my wife’s ‘18 base model accord and it’s butter on the roads.

I’m not on the hunt for cheap 17 or 18” wheels. I’ll throw brand new rubber on see if it makes a difference. I think the 20”’s are too much

 

Lol. That's an expensive app though.

I went back to discount tires and got them to rebalance it. Ran the app again and this time it's not showing tire issue but engine vibration etc.

The tires were way off. The rebalancing to have helped the tires but there's still vibration there.

I was thinking about changing the suspension out but based on your results, it's probably not going to make any difference.

 

Where do you place the phone for your test

 

Mounted to the magnet in the dash. It shouldn't matter because the mic should be picking up the correct frequencies. You'll notice that when you observe live, view and see the frequency it goes through.

This morning it's saying it's a 1st drive shaft related Vibration. Checking out of round but I don't have no tool to do this. Only a shop can.

This is on a 2007 tundra
