2006 4 runner front end issue

[jess1228]

I recently started getting vibrations in the front of my 06 4runner V6 and rubbing noises when I turned to the left or right. Dropped it at the dealership and they called back about 7 hours later to tell me that I had multiple issues.
1- Powersteering Rack is blown
2- Axels are leaking grease
3- U-Joints are blown

Now I have to wait to see if it will be covered under my extended warranty.. Who knows how long I will be without a vehicle.

Anyone have any of these issues lately with their 4Runner??

I haven't heard of these issues, but I suspect all but the u-joints will probably be covered by the x-warranty. Some warranties will cover those too.

Jess,

Not sure about what would be covered but I had a question regarding you U-joints. Do you or mechanic grease them and if so how often?

Thx,
Ted

I grease all the drive lines and propeller shafts every other oil chenage.
