    Just bought a 2023 TRD OR Premium with 11k miles. I’m feeling noticeable vibration in the steering wheel around 60+mph. Dealer said they did the works and all is good at purchase. Didn’t go above 60mph on test drive so never noticed. Feeling like it could be wheel balance, tire issue or alignment. First 4Runner so wasn’t sure if this was common or not. Any input before going back to the dealer? Thanks

    If the vibration goes away once you drive faster than it is a wheel out of balance.

    Welcome from Wisconsin! We test drove a brand new 4Runner off the lot, at 45 mph it shook bad, took it back to the dealership, told the sales person, who was standing by their senior mechanic, and the mechanic said that Toyota sends some, not alot of vehicles that do this, anyway it is more than likely a balance issue... get 'em balanced! Road Force balanced that is. Good luck

    This right here "Road Force balanced that is." Need to find a shop that does road force balancing.

    Couldn't get rid of my wheel vibration too, balanced a few times, in the end replaced all four with Michelin and vibration went away.
