I have a 2WD 1988 Toyota pickup auto trans with a 22R-E engine in it. Whenever I start it up and its in park the truck is fine there is barely any vibration going on, but as soon as I put it in any other gear such as drive, neutral etc.. the hole truck starts vibrating you can notice it mostly on the steering wheel.

Now I took 2 videos, one is inside my truck when its in park, then I change it to drive to try and show the vibration. My camera didnt really pick up on the vibration as good as i thought it would but whatever. The 2nd video is one of my engine as its in park just so you guys can see theres not really that much vibration going on. The whining sound is from my dog lol, and the other sound is from air blowing into my cameras mic. so you can only hear my engine normally for the first 3 seconds of the video.

I was just wondering if its normal to have some vibration inside my truck or if I should take it somewhere to get looked at.

Thanks

Could be a bad U-joint or your steering rack bushings are worn.

Does the idle change alot when you change from P to any forward or backward gear? I couldnt tell from the video...

If it does, your truck isnt idling right for some reason. Could be any number of things related to airflow, or such. A friend of mines saturn does the same thing, its not getting the proper reading from the mass air flow sensor.

Yeah the idling does change a lot when I go from Park to drive or any other gear. Thats what is causing the vibration I guess. Is it normal for it to have any change whenever you switch gears?
