    I'm looking for a shop to help diagnose vibrations in my 07 Tacoma 4x4. I'm new to the Seattle area (without any tools) and would feel comfortable bringing it to a shop recommended by you guys.

    The truck begins to vibrate just before reaching 30mph. I was driving around some service roads this morning in 4wd and while heading back home, the vibrations began. I didn't see any rocks stuck in the tires or any underneath the truck. I've read some threads on here about common vibrations and one thing I noticed is that it is happening when both in 2H and 4H. All wheel weights are still attached to it's wheel.

    If anyone is willing to check it out as well, I can provide plenty of beer!

    All the things!
    Mule outfitters can probably help you.

    Is your truck lifted? You may need to shim your rear axel to correct the driveline angles.

    PS. Welcome to TW

    Hey thanks, Bert.

    If it's stock - a dealer should be able to help pretty quickly

    Has anyone here have any experience with the Lake City Toyota? Debating going there (5 min away) or going to Bellevue for better service.

    Don't go to Michael's Toyota, unless you have a warranty that is

    Michaels Toyota does great work and has a lot of experience with lift kits and fixing vibrations. Ask for Monroe, he may be able to answer any other questions you may have.
