I had a similar situation with my 2001 LX470, it has done it since I had it @37k miles. Well after I took my truck in for the 60k service it has not done it since. My best guess is that something in the driveline. I say this because at 37k I had the original Michelin tires. At 50k I replaced all 5 and still had vibration. Perhaps the tech actually torqued down the bolts on the output flange on the driveline or greased the slip yolk? Don't know other then the vibration is gone. Hope this helps.

super50 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Does applying the brakes make any difference? maybe your rotors are warped. also, check tire pressure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
