vibration question!
I've been lurking around this great forum for sometime now and this is my first post. My runner is a 97 limited 4wd and i'm trying to figure out why is that when i step on the brake and in full stop, i can feel a vibration in the car somewhere i cannot pinpoint. The vibration will go away once i put the car in Park and release the brake pedal.

Your rotors may be warped. I would have them either have them resurfaced or replaced entirely. That should cure your problem. BTW, let me be the first to welcome you to yotatech.com!

Vibration under braking is common with 4Runners. The OEM rotors are poor such that they warp prematurely compared to most aftermarket rotors. Most people have replaced them with Brembo's. I replaced my warped OEM rotors at 65,000 miles after they were replaced once and then turned once. I have 40,000 on the Brembos with no problems.

It sounds to me like he's not talking about warped rotors. Sounds more like the load from the power braking system, and the transmission being in drive, are causing a low enough rpm on the engine that it's causing the vibration.
Engine mount? dirty injectors... something crazy like that.

With regards to the engine mount, i once had an experience with my infiniti g20 and it really shake the car since the mounts were cracked. I doubt but i'll try to look into it. Dirty injectors, as far as i know when you have dirty injectors the car will drive like a crap - "rough"! Mine runs smooth and can accelerate reasonably without hesitation....
