Not sure what to check next 1998 4Runner, 242,000 miles. I have a 2000 4Runner with 200,000 miles on the clock. It has had front brake shudder from day one. The rotors have been turned (and replaced) many times, but within a short time the shudder returns.
Where does the vibration come from on a Toyota 4Runner?
Good luck! The vibration is felt through the steering wheel and also to a lesser degree the rest of the vehicle. It starts at about 60 mph and isn’t constant. Meaning that the vibration varies in intensity. There aren’t any noises associated with the vibration. Going around corners/curves doesn’t seem to have an affect on the vibration.
Are there any new brake calipers for a Toyota 4Runner?
If you feel like spending for new calipers the “Tundra Brake Upgrade” is a good option. Tundra calipers and rotors from ~2005 bolt right up to the 3rd gen, just requires some minor trimming of the dust shield. There were two sizes of Tundra rotors from those years, which one to get depends on what wheel you’re running. +1 on the tundra upgrade.

Discussion in ‘ 3rd Gen 4Runners (1996-2002) ‘ started by Rixon05, Jan 14, 2019 . I’m pretty much new to these forums, so I don’t know what to expect. But hopefully I can garner some knowledge here. I love 4Runners. Especially the 3rd and 5th Gens. I’m trying to keep mine as long as I can. But I have encountered some issues lately.
Why does my steering wheel shake when I brake?
Because the brakes mount to the wheel hub, which mounts to the steering knuckle, you may also feel shaking in the steering wheel. Some vehicles still have drum brakes in the rear.
