I bought a new 2003 Toyota Tundra limited 4X4 tuck here on guam. I've been experiencing shaking since about 2005. All the recalls supposily have been taken care of by the dealer ex: Lower ball joint replaced, brakes replaced and passenger airbag disconnected by dealer. Shaking became minimal, but now my truck shakes more than ever. I even had one of the dealer's mechanics test drive the truck with me. He said it was because the road is bumpy. I even drove on a newly paved road and the shaking was even more noticable. I told him to look at the side view mirror at the bed shaking. That's when he agreed with me. The dealer had my truck for four months or so trying to figure what was causing the shaking with no prevail. Hince, I have been dealing with the compensating of braking and shaking of my truck. I am really fed up taking my truck in for this problem. All my records of service are at the Toyota dealer. I hope you can find a solution to this problem and help me out.
Vehicle vibrates at highway speeds. Despite repeated tire balancing, replacement and alignment. Vibrates between 50 and 80 mph. Dealer states it is because of standard 17 inch wheels on these vehicles.
