AMD, Ever since I switched to a vehicle made by Toyota, I have had nothing but good vibrations from my car. 🤩 The one exception was the noise from the cheap Goodyear tires that came from the factory. 🤨

My favorite videos on this channel are where you do not ever touch a car. I get so much helpful info from just listening!

Well spoken. This gentleman is a real mechanic. Sadly the odds of anyone finding such a person or garage is near zero. Actually I believe it is below zero. What almost always happens is a total incompetent needlessly changes parts, charges an outrageous fee (usually hidden in the parts bill) and goes on to live an upper class life of luxury and the customer then returns to this jerk because the problem was never actually fixed and next he claims you have a new problem.

69 years old and still learning. Thanks to high end mechanics like yourself. Regards Peter

The rubber components, tires and bushings on my 2002 Tundra had dry rotted from age and a decade of exposure to extreme heat while parked on a sun drenched concrete parking pad... I didn't realize the severity of the problem until I had to make an emergency stop to avoid hitting a Prius that turned in front of at the last second. I spent a year chasing down vibrations, I replaced the tires, the shocks, the drive & carrier bearing, steering rack bushings, upper & lower control arms and ball joints. All of these changes made a huge improvement, but I still had an annoying vibration... it turns out that I had a bad set of tires. The dealer replaced my tires, and except for occasional flat spotting from sitting - the vibration is gone.

So glad you specified Harmonics, and overtightened lug nuts. Hate those mechanics being trigger-happy with impact air wrenches.

I had a Vibration that happened around 40 miles an hour.. I went and had my tires rotated and it went away. RAM 1500. I was thrilled.

Regards from Athens Greece...take care...❤

Watching your videos gives me a great review, Iam a 15 year Toyota master tech, it is very useful when hearing different perspectives of diagnostic from different tech. Good a good day.

I had a vibration I felt in my seat in my 1988 Mustang GT after I had a dealer replace the ring and pinion. Long story short, the center post lift they had hit the driveshaft and bent it. I chased it for two years and spent $2500 trying to fix it. They hid the damage and tried to balance it out with a hose clamp and wheel weights. But can’t fix a bend. So a shop saw that and replaced the driveshaft and all the leaking seals and it was all fixed. Great video.

Would like to recommend having your tires roadforce balanced as well when installing new. It takes a bit longer but I’ve done many a set on vehicles that had other shops mount them for the customer. If whoever does the work knows what there doing and has a good machine it works great 👍

Former LS460 owner here. Went through parts cannon hell to fix wheel bearing shake. It's rare to see a mechanic willing to do diagnostics nowdays Thank you for your videos, AMD! I learned the hard way...

On some dirt roads they spray some stuff that may have cement in it to pack down the road. If you go over when this is still wet you get a build up of hardened dirt on the inside of your rim. You have to clean this stuff out. I live in Michigan.

If you have a bad wheel bearing, replace the bearing on the other side at the same time. Usually when a bearing starts failing, the other one is on the way out. BTW, I had a bad front wheel bearing on my MKII VW GTI that made more noise when it was unloaded. I replaced the other side, and it didn't improve. Lesson learned.

Almost at 1 million subs. Hope we get a special video/party for that milestone

Straight to the point...no endless bla bla...highly appreciated!...Thank YOU!!

Best car channel on KZfaq..You are the most brilliant technician ever..Keeping us informed.

You are a hero. I have RX350 2008, vibration on acceleration, noticed the slight movement in axle bearing bracket p side, seen 5 mechanics no one related the issue to the bearing bracket and i still have the vibration till today.

You’re the doctors for cars!

Another great video from the Master! Nobody does it like Amd!! I had a vibration from my sieze..brake caliper where my is300 was making vibration and would travel to the wheel, but not only that it would move the car on its own! This vibration took me a while to figure out and at high speeds up to 60 miles an hr it would start! But what really led to it in my believe is that I forgot to add the shims! On a routine brake pad job on the front and eventually over time it cause my brake caliper piston to lock and! What was sad that lexus dealership when they discovered it after they did my timming belt they gave me my vehicle back knowing this and even after they figure it out and they put the new calipers on front and fixed the problems and the vibration went away and the car would go on its own but didn't bother to tell me that I didn't have shims! Really disappointing! Because I went I. For a timming belt replacement and they gave me my car back and it didn't move on its own! So I turned back around ask them y was this happening and thats when they discovered it and then I was informed and then I purchased the new calipers as I stated and they installed them but didn't again tell me that there was no shims if everyone can follow what im saying for all is300 owners beware of the toyota lexus dealerships go to amed he will not cut corners and inform you 100 percent! He deserves his own dealerships toyota lexus and scion and all techs that work for him they will know from the Best please support his channel 🙏 1 of the biggest carcarenut fans!!! May the lord keep amed and bless TCCN!

This is great info. I've been an audience for car videos for a decade, nothing much before has been this informative and concise. Genuinely learnt some new stuff here.

20yrs+ isn't a joke from a Master technician ❤❤❤❤ Great work man

AMD, another very helpful video 🙂 Thank you

Right on time. Needed this one a few weeks back on my camry, hope it helps everyone else too. Vibrations are scary.

i gotta play the lotto, this man solved an issue i was having and it's serendipitous it dropped today.

Congrats for the channel. I've been watching for a long time, and the consistency and quality of your work and your team's work never disappoints. One quick question, can you recommend a rubber pad for jack stands to use in the side pinch weld lifting points? because the one that I use does not have a deep enough v to clear the pinch weld. Saludos desde España!

This is wonderful advice. Thank you so much for all your videos!

Your detail on vibration on acceleration is right on point. Just recently changed the passenger side cv axle on my 3rd gen Sienna because of that reason. One of the joint was loose. I didn't realized it to the point the vibration even caused two of the 12mm screws mounting the bracket on the right engine mount to become loose which worsen the vibration. It runs smooth again after tightening the screws and replaced the axle.

Thanks AMD for another awesome video

Great info AMD. I learned a lot with this one. Thank you!

This is the best video about vibrations in your car. Saving us alot of money. Definitely my Toyota needs the rotors and wheels checked. I have the pulsating on braking and the vibrations on high speeds. Ty sir!!

Loved this video. I listen while I drive places so the talk videos are great for this.

Very timely. thanks. I'm trying to understand a vibration right now. Have to watch again and again and think about it.

Always very informative, thanks!

One of my favorite videos among his excellent others. Even I can DIY this enough to give accurate info to my mechanic. Thanx.

Props to the person behind the camera. You captured everything perfectly!

This is a great learning channel on automobiles , especially Toyota vehicles. Thank you

Wow!!!! What a great video on car vibrations….This should be required viewing in tech school…Saves time and money both for the tech and the customer….Thank-you!!!!

Bless you for sharing your knowledge!

Another interesting and informative video. Thank you

Thank you AMD, very educational video. I learned a lot today. Too bad I don't live anywhere near your shop. Keep up the good work! 👍😊

I always learn so much from you!!!

Loving these videos!!

Such a great summary. Thank you!

thank you for posting this video

Thanks for the video. I'm experiencing vibration on the steering wheel at highway speeds, and that was very informative.

I like these practical videos

OK this gentleman has almost one million followers anyone think they are as knowledgeable or as good a mechanic as he is? Would love to know how many quality mechanics there are out there.

Great summary of symptoms, AMD. I hope I don't need to go through this anytime soon with my 2019 Tacoma, but it is good information to know. I have dealt with some of the issues you described in other vehicles and recognized a number of the symptoms you described that were ultimately associated with the eventual repair. You are correct, diagnosing vibrations is sometimes an art form!

Thx much, very informative.

This is a great Video! So informative. Thank you! I've literally been chasing a bearing sound on my LS460. That Growling is so prominent in the quiet interior of that car. I discovered yesterday that the tires are feathered but I'll get my dealership to confirm at the next service

You are simply the best.Well articulated.Thanks

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

This channel's right up there with SMA in my opinion. Some great information.

Thank you AMD! Exactly the video I needed!

Brilliant subject to take up, Ahmed. Thank you for sharing, this is very informative. Greetings from a happy Corolla TS 2.0 Hybrid owner in Denmark, Europe, Loyal Toyota owner and driver for 20 years now

Great timing because I have been experiencing this.

Great content as always!

Another great video, Ahmad. I had a Toyota truck have a clunk with a vibration while coasting to a stop. I was a drive shaft U-joint.

Excellent video thanks

Very good informative video AMD! Vibrations and noises can be tough to diagnose.

Thank you. Learn something everyday.

The video Ive been absolutely waiting for you to do!!! Thankyou! My FJ has a slight rumble in the floor / if I put my hand on the passenger seat I feel the vibration. Maybe rear wheel bearing or tailshaft uni joints. !

I feel like this video was made for me lol I always have something going with the road conditions in my area. Drives me crazy. Thank you for the video.

Love the channel...Your knowledge of Toyota is impressive...on CV axles.Can you rebuild the factory Toyota axle? If so,is there a kit and is it just the bearing and boot? Thank You!

Man, I love your videos. Thank you!!! ❤

I knew all this, just from experience {50+yrs behind the wheel} and I drive a '64 Merc with manual 4 wheel drum brakes, do all the maintenance myself as I don't trust shops to fix it right, I also refer to it as ... my car talks to me, if you listen for sounds and feel what's happening, that's your car talking to you, so turn down that radio and listen, but shared with everyone I know who don't know what's what with they're vehicles, well done Bro and THX for the explanations

Wow sir you are a genius... can you please make a video about diagnosing different codes when scanning

Best regards from Athens Greece.

Wow, it's like you're reading my mind😂😂 Very helpful, thank you for making these videos and educating the community 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for the video, had a vibration issues with my Sienna braking at higher speeds, the whole back of the van vibrates. Have to check on all these - - warped rotors - Loose tie rod - Work control arm bushing - Bent hubs Tires look good

Thank you.... very accurate information ✌️

Excellent! Thanks

Interesting thank you!

Another good vibration diagnosis video with GoPro video - Crazy 2014 Ford Explorer Vibration Finally Fixed! FordTechMakuloco

Just had an inner CV go bad on my 07 ES 350 and it was exactly like you described, fluttering when accelerating, at first only around 75 mph, let off the gas and it goes away. After a little while it became fluttering while accelerating at any speed over 55. All 3 of the bearings on the spider were worn. Thanks for these videos!

Brilliant video

This is such a great video! You don't really see content like this often, stuff that helps you understand your car. I've just started to watch the channel and can't stop. I have a 2012 Lexus ES350 that vibrates slightly when it's idling in gear, usually when engine is colder. I can always tell when the water in my bottle slightly vibrates too. Thoughts?

I love this guy Thank You for all these videos keep it coming please GOD BLESS ❤

Very informative, thankyou. Often wondered why sometimes the brake pedal will pulsate, versus the steering wheel shimmy when you have bad rotors...

Good info and cute pooch...tnx

i think you just solved the problem i had since two weeks , likely a wheel bearing

I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos they are always so informative I wish I lived closer to shop so I could have my tundra serviced by a honest mechanic..

Fantastical video❤ I have a tricky vibration in my ‘59 Ford, The seat shakes from 55 mph on up. New, balanced tires. Good wheels. New driveshaft and u-joints. Seems like bearings in the rear axle! Thanks amigo 😊

Great video. 👍👍👍

Thank you so much for explaining all that god bless

very informative

Very good explanation. Another is the "washboard road". It seems we have many. Car will vibrate on one stretch and not another.

Fj cruiser owner. I installed mud tires and a 3 inch lift. I had horrible vibrations, far beyond what could be expected from that combo. Yea, I know. I paid extra for all those symptoms, which made diagnosis of the problem near impossible (mud tires make noise, E rated tires are hard, they don't balance, etc). Finally, I was unhappy with the lift for other reasons. Mostly terrible handling on washboard dirt roads. Replaced all the shocks and front springs with a better lift kit, and all the problems went away. It simply did not like the entry level bilstean shocks. Went to iron man foam cell pros all around, and it is awsome, and kept the same icon progressive springs in back. However, I sure got a crash course in all the those noises / vibrations and what they mean. Unfortunately, each one was checked by my mechanic in the process of elimination, and we never suspected the shocks as the source. Especially considering how many people use them on FJs. On the bright side, that cheap lift kit helped me work out what I really wanted from a suspension system, and what I wanted to do with my FJ. Mostly overland, driving hours of dirt roads.

Spot on!

I really enjoy your videos. I'm driving a 91 land cruiser with 219,000miles on it. These videos help me.

Thank you for the video. How about vibration at idle? Is that from engine mounts?

6:32 this is such a valuable video and better than many other separate videos just about a single topic combined that I've seen, especially about differentiating between one problem and another. I have been dealing with a puzzling issue for a long time in my 2004 Toyota Camry with about 150k miles. At low speeds and more noticeable with light breaking compared to heavy braking, there is an on and off (based on rotation) grinding sound from the front brakes. My mechanic, who I overall trust, previously said that it was because of "rust" but the car is driven multiple times per week, and previously after having the brakes and rotors replaced, the sound came back within a few months. One time when I brought it to the mechanic, he inspected the tires and brakes before taking it on a road test, and the sound temporarily resolved before coming back within a few days. He's not a "share your guess with him" kind of guy, and I'm wondering if bent hubs are possibility or something else.

This is another great video. I first learned about what AMD is talking about when I worked at a Ford dealer in the late 70’s as a front end and power steering mechanic. We had our own description of the belts coming apart on radial tires, wether they were newer tires or some with a few miles on them, “ radial walk.” I had to laugh a bit because it brought back memories of working in that department.

2022 4runner vibrating between 60-75. Toyota Road forced balance the tires more than 3x and ended up changing the tires from Dunlop to Michelin under warranty. Still vibrating….

Good morning sir 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻from Yorktown Texas 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for the tips sir

Another vibration to mention is vibration at idle or while accelerating that could be attributed to bad motor mounts. I've seen a couple newer Corollas with complaints of excessive vibration due to a bad transmission mount.

almost one million miles I mean subscribers

One other vibration that specifically happens when the car is idling (more so when the engine is cold after a long stop, like overnight), which usually means engine mounts
