How to get rid of shaking and bouncing while driving? Permanent solutions?
What is your question?
I drive a 2010 Toyota 4Runner, and I have been having some problems with the car being bouncy and shaky while I drive, which is getting very uncomfortable… Are there any ways to make this problem go away? And are those solutions going to fully make the uncomfortableness while driving go away? I really don’t want to have to deal with this problem anymore haha- Thanks!
What makes this problem better or worse?
Driving fast, going over bumps/potholes
How long has your 2010 Toyota 4Runner had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2010 Toyota 4Runner. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Being that you just purchased the truck, it could be possible that what you're experiencing is not abnormal for this vehicle. What was your previous vehicle?
This is a truck with a truck suspension, made to sustain loads and abnormal road surfaces. Sure, you can replace shock absorbers -- at 11 years old, it's time anyway and may help a bit. You may also want to have your tires checked for age and wear -- are they possibly causing some of the vibration? Perhaps they need balanced? Also, it's a good idea to have your wheel alignment checked -- even angles that may not be adjustable should be measured to see if components have been bent and can cause ride concerns.
