Hello guys, let me tell you about my truck it's a 97 4runner purchased about a month ago, came from a 93 3.0 , hated it. Any way when I got it it had a wobble when turning right wether it's on the freeway or just going down the road. Well me thinking and reviewing all the other threds and test jacked the truck up and it had a wobble left to right so I replaced the rack and pinion BC it's had a leak and also did sway bar ends, still the problem has not gone away, next I ordered new shocks (Bilstein 5100 and a rough country lift got everything in installed it took it for an alignment still the problem has not gone away, with all of the tire movement gone when jacked up (it is solid no movement the passenger wheel still makes that weird wobble , can someone please help. Also new dick cepek tires 315 70 17 and black rhino war lord wheels.

 

97...4wd? Miles?

Did they have trouble aligning it?

Because they are an issue with the 3rd gen definitely pay attention to the lower ball joints. Given the way they fail I'd do it as maintenance with oem joints assuming original lbj's and over 150,000 miles. I'm sure in your search you saw lower ball joint failures and symptoms or lack thereof.
Other than that there's the control arm bushings (lowers especially), tie rod ends if they didn't get replaced with the rack, wheel and the tires though I suppose new tires and wheels kinda rules those out.

Not much sticking to the wheel after that, but upper ball joints and wheel bearings, cvs if 4wd. Also look at the rear, in case there's something going on back there being translated towards the front.

 

No problem with the alignment and all new ball joints all the way around

 

Any noticeable issues under heavy braking?

 

No, just added the diff drop kit, problem has not gone away , I forgot to mention new rotors and pads

 

Check your left side wheel bearing. When you turn right it puts a higher side load on your front wheel bearings, especially the left. Jack up the truck and spin the front wheels by hand, any funny noise? wiggle the whole wheel and tire top to bottom and side to side, any play? Have a second set of eyes watching the back side while you wiggle it to see where it is coming from. This is the only thing I can think of that would cause a wobble ONLY when cornering ONE direction. But I have been wrong before and I am sure I will be again.

 

Does not move at all, its solid on driver side, no movement, when the truck is jacked up it does not let the tire rotate forward or back, take the wheel off releasing the bottom ball joint removing the CV shaft and it spins freely.

 

I decided to try and replace the lower control arm, this did take some time to get done, had to remove the new rack and pinion just installed to get the centric bolts out. Replacing the lower control arm, the wheel spins freely. Now the passenger wheel is cocked to 2 o'clock and the driver is at 12, hopefully an alignment will fix this issue, thanks for all the help!!!
