Duratrac vibration

Did you get a road force balance and did they give you the road force measurements? Tacomas are sensitive to road force. You can zero the balance on the machine but if there is still too much road force you will still get vibes.

Think of it like an egg. You can balance an egg but you can't make it roll around smoothly on the floor.

Also you needed to find a shop that uses the Haweka adapter. Doesn't matter if lug or hug centeric wheels.

 

I had 1 of 4 that was a problem child too.

I had to go through 3 tires in order to get a good one.

First one had 33lbs road force = vibes
2nd one had 39lbs road force = vibes
3rd one had 10lbs road force = no more vibes

Luckily I had a good shop that knew what the problem was.

 

No problems at all on my 2009. 265/75/16 Cs

 

I'll be talking to the shop monday about it. They told me to let them know how it was. Its a goodyear tire shop. I'll keep you updated.

Thanks for all the information everyone. I appreciate it!!!

 

sorry to bring back an old post but I have an update. I just took my truck to the toyota dealership and had them road forced balanced. OMG best $63 I have spent in a long time. There is no vibration except from about 65-70mph but is very minimal due to the tread. Not complaining anymore.

 

That's good to hear.. Glad ya got it sorted out...

 

Sounds like they used the Haweka adapter where other tire shops are unaware about the need to use the special Toyota adapter for the tire machine . tsu00296.pdf

 

Never had any vibes and had them for over 2 years (29K miles) now.

 

Mine shake a bit. Been balanced three times, 2 road forced.

 

THANK YOU!!!

I've been trying to find this on an off for a while now. Someone else posted in a long lost thread about this adapter but not easy to find...

Cheers,

Jay

 

yeah It rides a whole lot smoother now. I want to actually drive my truck now. before with the vibes I didn't even want to drive it. Got so mad I almost traded it in but now It feels like a brand new truck..
