Dueler Revo Vibration Question
#82
I got A&R to move the stick on weight on the right rear wheel yesterday. The added the weight to the exterior perimeter of the wheel. Again, they verified that the balance was perfect. I think it did the trick. It's still not perfect (again, I'm very anal) but it will do. I just don't think that it will be possible for my truck to ride any better than it is now. One thing that did cross my mind though was the drive shaft bolts. I believe that re-torqueing them is part of the 60k or 90k service that I had done at the dealership, but they may not have done it. I'll check into this and probably stop by and get them to take a look at those bolts for me. Thanks for all of the advice and for listening to me bitch for two weeks. Later.

i'm pretty certain that your problem is the wheel that has both the stick on and the clamp weight on it. you don't need both of those. have that stick on weight removed and just use the traditional clamp weight. i've been throught your same situation and tried 5 different shops until i found one that had people who knew what they were doing.

Hmmm... Read the entire thread, then specifically Post #42. I rest my case. Alignments CAN cause vibration.

Or, maybe the Revoes simply are not compatible with your particular 4 runner.
Im offically on my
now. I still stand by my first comments. The road force just cant be the cure all that its being brought out to be. I may have to eat crow here, but ive eaten crow before in my life and I most likely will do so again, but I just cannot go for the road force balance being the final say so that the tires themselves are not causing the problem, and that there is nothing else that can be done to them to make them run with no or much less vibration. My feel is that the tires are the problem, but that they can be adjusted and balanced for a glass smooth ride. And no, the wheel does not have to have weights on its outer peremiter to get a smooth ride. That does however depend on if the rim will allow stickons where the spokes connect. The most perfect ride might however require them on inside as well as outside though. Anyway, thats my quarters worth. Hope it gets worked out soon.
I forgot to mention, theres 2 places around here that trues and balances on the car. Fowlers alignment in Phenix City AL. and Columbus spring in Columbus GA. Im sure theres got to be a place around where you are at. Anyway, if all else fails, why not give the trueing and balance on the car a try? If you did have a rotor or hub issue, that may fix you up.
