help needed!! weird after 4 wheeldrive

Post pictures, focus on the alignment cams, spindles, and steering. It could be a failed wheel bearing, or loose suspension components, or a bent wheel, or your alignment is out of whack. Pics would really help us diagnose the problemo. Like stated above, jack it up and see if the wheel is wobbly, and look at why the steering is binding by having someone turn the wheel while you watch.

 

I jacked the truck up on the pass side n when I rotate the wheel freely with my hand it makes a honing sound and also my cv boot has slipped off the small side, so that's prbly the problem I can try n post pics I don't have a computer tho strictly phone

 

You might have grenaded a CV dude, that would make some noise. There's a photobucket app that works pretty good for the iPhone.

 

When someone checked the bearings for me one day he jacked up the car, put his hands on the top of the tire under the wheel well and pulled the top of the tire toward his body. He told me that if he could move it toward him and away from him in a jerky motion (and the lugs nuts are tight) that means the bearings are bad.

 

All pics r with the pass side jacked up n on a stand

First pic the left boot is off on the right side (smaller part)

 

with it jacked up is the wheelwobble on either side?

i was also thinking it could be as simple as loose lug nuts...

i also notice your tire is quite a ways from the uca is that distance the same on either side?

 

also, a broken boot wont make it wobble unless the cv is completely shot. can you grab it and move it around?

 

Know any one brave enough to stand in front of the truck while you drive towards them? Maybe they can see what is going on.

 

Your Passenger side inner CV doesnt look right to me....start pulling on things to see if they are loose.

 

Yeah make the gf do it. Haha but I'd have to stand in front n I ain't all that sure that she would actually stop lol.



But the pictures of the wheel with the wheel being so far from the uca is cause I have that side of the truck jacked up w a Jack stand.

I talked to the mechanic I work with n he said its prbly more of a gear thing. By the sounds I told him it was making n how the steering wheel was extremely wobbly. Its weird tho I saw both tires while driving n they don't seem to move but in a straight line even with the steering wheel wobbling as bad as it is. The tires still r rolling straight.

 

do u have ur tires turned to the left in all the pics? i noticed on the pic of the drivers side the tire is turned, in the other pics is this still the case? cuz ur right tire is pretty straight. if so, i think u might have fubared ur steering rack

 

I was thinking that it was possibly my steering knuckle or something cause I can turn fully left but I can't turn the wheel to the right what so ever it only goes back to the straight position

 

at firstthoght when I first felt it fuckin up I thought something steering wise or gear wise. I checked all the way down the steering rod n noticed Nothin. There was some fluid dripping off down there but just thought it was water n when I smelled n tasted it it just seemed like water

 

jack both sides up and try having your gf turn the wheel and you watch

 

Your 4wd operation is normal. Sometimes it clunks, and sometimes if the 4-lo doesn't engage just right it blinks and beeps.
Your troubles are definitely in the front end.. Something is bent or broken.

 

Well I have talked to the dealership service department and the Guy was actually not an asshole and told him I only have 65xxx on it n he said well bad luck ur out of powertrain warranty n I said well I have the extended platinum when I bought it used n it still falls under warranty so I gotta take it in and see what's wrong. After telling him I had the platinum he was all well that makes it a lot better for u cause it seems to be a very bad problem. So I might as well let them take care of it. Ill post back for future reference if anyone else has this shit happen to their truck. Thanks for all the insight from every member that posted as to what it might be tho I highly appreciate it.

 

Please keep us posted. Oh and ask them what caused it please.

 

I Sure will he said he is backed up its the only Toyota in the area 150+ both north n south of my town so he said it might not be till Monday that he does it so I'm taking first thing Monday morning. Ill be sure to post back n what caused whatever is wrong with it for someone who may run into the same problem.

 

Thanks. Hope it's going to be okay.

 

I sure hope so too, man its gonna suck if they say oh sry its not fixable unless we tear out everything. Which would be good In the long run if they replaced with new parts cause then it'll be like new to me but bad if I ever tried selling it. This all sucks cause I'm planning on trying to get a 6" but I dk if I wanna do that and run into other shit messing up cause of the wear of a 6".
