Hilux Surf questions

Post by frodaddy527 »

hey guys,

im not much of a mechanic and i just recently bought a 2.4L hilux surf. there are a few things that i am uncertain about that i wouldnt mind getting some opinions on.

1. when i get up past 80km/h the car starts to shake andgets worse with the faster i go. could this be something to do with my wheel alignment?

2. is it normal for the turbo to be constantly running while driving on the motorway? (above 2500 revs)

thanks for your help!

probably just wheel balance, wheel alingment effect tyre wear and tracking, wheel balance makes things shake

2. is it normal for the turbo to be constantly running while driving on the motorway? (above 2500 revs) yes

thanks for your help!
