I have a 1999 4Runner Limited with 141000 miles. Over the past 2 weeks I have noticed a vibration coming from the vehicle. It does not seem to be coming through the steering wheel. It does not happen when the car is in neutral, or idelling. It seema to vibrate during acceleration, but not when I take my foot off the gas. I have had the tires balanced and a complete front brake job, with the rear being turned and the pads replaced. I have not had the shocks and struts replaced, but I also do not do off roading, or drive with snow chains. Can any one please give me some ideas at what to look into, so I dont get taken at the dealership. Thanks!

Hi bryonj,

I would suggest checking the engine mounts and U joints.

Thanks KHLow2008 for the info.
Any idea what kind of cost I am looking at if these need to be replaced/adjusted by the dealer?

Thanks again!
