Lexus GX460 cabin and steering wheel vibration during acceleration on Lexus GX460

Some Lexus GX460 owners report experiencing cabin and steering wheel vibrations during acceleration, which may be attributed to several factors. A defective wheel bearing is often cited as a cause, leading to grinding noises and shaking in the steering wheel. Additionally, loose or worn steering components such as tie rods, ball joints, or the steering gearbox can create play in the steering system, resulting in vibrations. Wheel imbalance is another common issue that can contribute to excessive vibrations while driving. Furthermore, owners who have upgraded to larger tires may experience steering wheel wobbles, particularly if there is lateral runout in the aftermarket rims. To address these concerns, it is advisable for owners to have their wheel bearings checked and replaced if necessary, inspect and repair any loose or worn steering components, correct any wheel imbalance, and evaluate the condition of aftermarket rims if larger tires have been installed.
