Consumer Description

SINCE LATE JUNE OF 2012, MY TRD FJ CRUISER HAS HAD SERIOUS STEERING WHEEL SHAKE AT ABOUT 62 MILES AN HOUR. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES SLIGHTLY BETWEEN 55-60 AND 65-70 BUT EXPERIENCES PEAK SHAKE AT ABOUT 62 EXACTLY. THE SHAKE IN THE STEERING IS INCREDIBLY VIGOROUS AND MAKES ME CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MECHANICS AT MY LOCAL TRUCK SHOP AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE AS THE SUSPENSION IS NOT SIGNIFICANTLY RAISED AND THE WHEELS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE WITH A RECENT ALIGNMENT. THE STEERING ALSO THE STEERING LISTS TO THE RIGHT NOTICEABLY WHEN AT IT'S FULL VIBRATION SPEED (62 MPH). *TR
