Check for a brake, bearing or axle problem on the right wheels. A warped rotor could drag on the brakes and produce vibration. A bad bearing may also drag and vibrate. The easy test is to jack up the right side and spin the wheels by hand with the transmission in neutral.

Another possibility is a differential problem. You may detect that in the right side spin test. If you don''t find anything, try jacking up the rear end of the vehicle and spinning each rear wheel while watching what the other does. If they don't feel or act the same, or if you hear nasty sounds in the rear end, that would be your problem. If you have 4WD or FWD, do this test on the front end.

Front end shakes at 50mph but stops at55mph why

Because one or both of the front wheels are out of balance.
1. You need to have the front wheel/tire package rebalanced by a competent balancer. Go to a good tire retailer. They have the equipment to do the re-balancing for you. Don't go to the cheapest shop you can find and hope they will do a great balance job for you.
2. If you still have the vibration after re-balancing (assuming it is done well) you will either have a faulty tire or tires (out of round or a heavy spot in the tire) or there is a problem with one or both of the wheels. If either of the front wheels have been slightly bent out of shape from abuse you will get a vibration in the front end of the car and in that event the wheel needs to be replaced. If you have a cheap brand of tires fitted to the car and the re-balancing does not solve the vibration problem I would suspect the tires first. Cheap tires will typically give you problems like this if you buy them but better brands can have tire faults also.

3. Do not let someone tell you that a front wheel alignment will solve a balance problem with the wheels/tires. It will not because the vibration is caused by the rotating wheel and tire. By all means have a wheel alignment done again - because you need to do this on the car about every 10-12000 miles in any event - but doing this will not solve a balance issue.

4. If you want to run a test before doing any work have the rear wheels on both sides moved to the front of the car and the fronts to the rear. Then check if you still have exactly the same vibration. If not then you know where the problem is. If you still get exactly the same vibration or a similar front vibration with the rear wheels fitted on the front, then the balance on the rear wheels/tires will need to be checked and re-done as well.

Auto trans gear changes down then back up when cruising

run fault codes and check for TCM problem. Have the fluid changed and the filter cleaned out and while the pan is off have the bands and clutch pack adjustments checked.

I have a 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser with front end damage. There was very little anti freeze in it but I was able to drive it off the tow truck to the driveway. Now it doesn't want to start.

Water is essential to the to the life of an engine and running it without water will cause internal damage. the length of time is of no importance as you have hot moving parts with no cooling . How long was it running with the front end damage as the damage could have been done then. Have a compression test done

I have a 2005 land cruiser. It has a slow acceleration and begins to vibrate from underneath as the acceleration increases. Can you advise please? Thanks

do you hear a loud hissing sound when you take off?
Could be the cat converter.

if not that, I've seen CV axles that caused poor take off and vibration.

let me know what you find.

On my Land Cruiser HJ60 ,1988 model, I seem to have a slight positive camber on the Front left. What do I do to correct this?What are the alignment specs?

Your best bet is to just take the car to a wheel alignment shop, doesn't cost much, just had my jeep done last week, 4 wheel balance and alinement only cost $40 and it was all done electronically

Where does diff lock display come on dash or button

diff lock displays on dash and is opperated by a dial to the left of the steering column. the center diff lock is operated by a button in the center dash and locks your center differential, making your front and rear driveshafts turn at the same speed. the front and rear differentials lock either your front or rear or both differentials making each wheel on the same axle turn at the same speed. all of these features are for increased traction in off road and wet conditions and situations

Differetial locks for 94 land cruiser

91-97 Land Cruisers had a factory option for front and rear locking differentials. This is a seperate switch and is usually located to the left of US model Land Cruisers. The center dash button locks your transfer case differential changing your Land Cruiser from all wheel drive to four wheel drive depending if you have ABS or not this button either says ECT or Center Dif Lock. If you do not have the Front/Rear locking differential option then your Land Cruiser has open Front and Rear. Hope this answers your question.
