Ive read that it is a common issue with 4Runners,


there's a shimmy, sometimes referred to as a "death wobble" by Jeep nerds, also common in F-250s that's associated with the suspension, drag link, steering damper, tie rods, maybe ball joints, just had the wife's Jeep in for that, done in a day for about a grand

A shimmy is just an aggravating shake. Death wobble is dangerous and immediately damaging to suspension parts.
