Hi all,
I'm new here. seen some of the posts and is seems to be a fun/helpful group.
I'm looking at getting into 4WD and getting prado seems to be a good option. I've got no knowledge about 4WD whatsoever and VERY LIMITED knowledge about mechanics and stuff so bare with me. I know this is gonna be costly but hey gotta start somewhere right?
Here's the Deal. I'm looking at getting a 1998 Prado GXL It's got 245.000 Ks on the clock but it's been well looked after. and All service done according to the manual. Never taken off-road before.
It all seems to be working pretty good mechanically but It's making this strange sound. It comes from the front of the vehicle. Seems to be close to the wheel. It's kind of a humming sound but it's not constant. It's frequency varies depending on the speed (like humm humm humm) get it?. It only seems to happen when the car has warmed up if you just start it and take off seems to be fine. It also happens at low speed. it goes away when you go over 50-60 kph.
it doesn't go away when you apply brakes so my guess is it's not them. sometimes it goes away when turning right (like on round abouts) but not always.
I was wondering if anyone knew anything about that.
Thanks guys
