1999 Toyota 4-Runner Limited; 195,000 miles. Vibration problem: - No vibration when idling in park. - No vibration when increasing RPM’s in park. - Vibration starts at about 20-25 MPH and gets just a bit worse as speed increases. - Vibration decreases to almost a stop when coasting (foot off of gas pedal) at any speed. - Engine still feels strong at any speed. (I don’t go faster than 50-55 on my way to work.) - Can feel normally smooth up and down shifting. No jolting or clanging during shifts. - Don’t know the last time the transmission oil and filter were changed. - All above in ‘D’ gear. ---

Worn U-joints at either end of the driveshaft? Looseness in the shaft of the differential? Usually not hard to diagnose even if the driveshaft has to come off. ---

Thank you very much. Is this expensive considering the age and mileage? ---

Probably not. I did U-joints by myself on my 1979 Toyota 4X4 truck around 1999 because I liked learning and doing and I had the time and place for it. ---

Great! I’ll check with my mechanic and go from there. Now I have an idea of what I’m in for. Thank you very much. Signing off!!
