1997 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6 review from North America
"I got a good price on my truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I also have that annoying squeak in my clutch,,, and I think I traced it to my slave cylinder. I sprayed some wd-40 on it and I quit for a day or two and is right back,,, go figure. I have also noticed that I have a vibration in my clutch pedal sometimes when I switch gears. There is also another noise I can hear while driving say, next to a bridge or something,, I don't know if its my pressure plate making the noise or if I have a small exhaust leak. Other than that I am very happy,, cold a/c ect... also hit a very bad pot hole and thought I knocked my wheel off, but it didn't do anything,, no tire bulges, didn't knock the allignment out, or screw up the tire balance.
General comments?
I love my 4runner,, but kinda worried about the noise underneath,, hopefully not the pressure plate and just something simple.
