My 2013 SR5 has the shimmy also. Starts around 60-65mph. Balancing the tires seems to help some, but it comes back with time. I have the stock Dunlop AT20 GrandTrek's on it. I'm hoping that when I change tires in a few months, things will improve. The Dunlops are about gone with only 35,000 miles on them. I really feel like they are a very cheap tire. I will go with either BFGoodrich TA KO's or (more likely) the Falken Wildpeak AT's.
Hopefully this will fix the shimmy of death!!!!!! lol

2019 4Runner with Wobble
Hey guys, I wanted to hop in here and see if anyone has found a permanent fix to this issue. I have gone through 2 sets of tires and 2 sets of wheels and the problem is still there. I only have 1000 miles on my 4Runner and purchased it brand new. I did not research this vehicle very well before buying and bought it because everyone loved their Toyotas. My wobble happens between 55-60, I have had the new tires balanced 5 times and have had 3 alignments done.
I told them that I had a hard time believing that the tires were the issue since the problem is intermittent. It seems to me to be a weak steering or suspension component, but I was not sure if anyone had actually found the issue. I have a 3" lift on it and run 285s for the tires. Has anyone had luck replacing the factory struts? Any help would be appreciated, I am tired of dumping money into this thing with no fix.
