Need Help ASAP!!!!!!!

Yes. It's a 4wd.

 

This proves it, off roading doesn't pay. Build up your rig, to be the best looking offroad machine, but never take it off the pavement. NEVER! Once you do, the repairs start adding up. Once you learn that, you should be able to do some more off roading, but not until then. Luckily I've only spent around 8 grand realizing this.

Again, I repeat, stay on the road.

 

I had my tacoma on a jobsite a few months ago and the General Contractor wouldn't put rock down on the road into the new school and it was a complete mud pit of a road. After leaving the jobsite my truck was vibrating bad at 30 miles an hour, pulling hard to one side, and making weird noises in the steering and brakes weren't working well. Took it to the nearest carwash and got underneath and got all the mud I could see off. It was still vibrating bad so I took it to the closest garage I could find that would take it quick and had them do an alignment and clean everything up. Seems to be running good now. Just had to replace both front wheel bearings, wonder if the mud had anything to do with that.

 

Idk I will def not be taking off road anymore. It was the first time I've done it pretty much and of course something fucks up! Anybody think it could be the rack & pinion? I sure hope not. Damn thing is like $400.

 

but that is so boring! haha

Me and my buddy have taking our tucks off roading many times. As long as your not an idiot you'll be fine, imo

 

I agree. Be smart about it. But isn't that kind of hard for a pre-runner to do?

 

I have had mud packed in my rotors and it threw it off ballance

 

That it only happens at low speed is a bit peculiar. Do the quick and easy test for the front bearings and tie rod: lift front wheels off the ground. For bearings shake the tires from top and bottom; there should be no play. For tie rods, shake side to side. It will move a little depending on how hard you shake the tire; you're looking for sudden up and down movement of the tire rod. Pull up & down on the tie rod to feel for a noticeable gap; there should be none.

This also will not rule out the bearings completely but it's a relatively quick and easy test.

 

Yes, the front "axles", axleshafts, halfshafts, CV shafts, whatever name you choose, turn with the front wheels on these trucks, all the time. It is certainly possible that there is something wrapped around one or both, would be pretty easy to spot though.

I've diagnosed two vehicles in the past for similar low speed only shakes, one had a bent wheel, the other had a bent hub. If the balance checked out fine on the wheels, it should eliminate a bent wheel. Lots of other possibilities too though.
