Hello forums, im hoping you guys can help me figure out this horrible shaking my truck is having. 96 runner, 3 inch spacer lift, over 220k miles. runs good except past weeks ive gotten this shaking, and it moves my steering wheel pretty bad. i dont go offroading, and it has 33" muds.

someone suggested i check my balljoints, now in the videos i posted, i jacked up the truck, and i place my hands 12 o clock and 6 o clock, and i move the tire back and forth, then i shake it from about 3/8 o clock and shake it back and forth again.

first video shows driver side, that clicking sound is when i move it from 12/6 o clock, and then i move it shaking from about 3/8, also that noise is my steering wheels moving, im assuming this isnt normal...

2nd video same routine far as shaking but from the driver side, i notice no noise or anything when 12/6, but 3/8 tire moves but not like the driver side. steering wheel barley moves.

if anyone can guide me as to how better check what might be wrong i would really appreciate it, poor college student can only afford to purchse the right parts, and i need to get this fixed quick as i dont feel safe driving it. im guessing its something in my driver side from the fact how bad it shakes. i know i should replace the busings on the tierods and steering, anything else i should know to replace to get this thing riding like new again while i have it apart (or atleast almost like new). also does anyone know if having MUD with the threads being so big causes vibrations when comming to a stop? i just did my rotors and brakes so i know it cant be that, maybe this is issue from the balljoints as well? i never rememever it being that bad when i first got the tires (about a year ago)

 

looks to me like a combination of some seriously bad wheel bearings combined with bad tie rods...

 

Bearings, tie rods, alignment, ball joints, and tire balance (maybe you lost a weight) are all things to check.
