Hello everyone!

My name is Michael Skokauckas and I hail from Mesa, Arizona. I'm an die-hard Toyota fan...and I always will be. I own a 1994 Toyota Pickup. It's a DX model, Standard cab and bed. 2.4 (22RE) Engine, 5-speed transmission and four wheel drive. Very nice truck, has never let me down and has always been there when I needed it. But know...I do have rather somthing of a safety problem on my hands. A problem that scared me enough to park the truck in the garage until I could find out what was going on with it.

The truck is all stock besides the BFG tires I installed. Always been one for original. Well, a few days ago I was driving down the road, doing about 45mph, and went over a rough spot in the pavement. Nothing major, perhaps un-even surface or rut. But what happened next scared the crap out of me! The entire truck along with the steering wheel started to shake so violently that I was thinking a tire was about to fall off! Luckly it was late at night and no one was behind me. I slowed down to around 10mph and the vibration stopped. I pulled into a local gas station, got out with my mag light and started looking around the bottem of my truck for any signs of damage...and saw nothing.

I was thinking perhaps it was a problem with somthing in the steering and/or front end etc... I will be taking it to a shop this up-coming week for inspection and/or repair. However before I do, I figured I would post up and see what you fella's think or what it might be.

It does not do it all the time...just did it a few times until I parked it. I also noticed that there is a slight vibration in the steering wheel while drive at normal speed as well.

If anyone has any idea's...please feel free to let me know.

Thanks fella's

Michael

 

yeah, you could check your front brakes. you could have quite possibly seesed a caliper. also check your brake fluid.

 

Maybe u joints?
