Default Noise and vibration in steering wheel

Lately I've been getting a noise and vibration in the steering wheel when going offroad. It's usually when going over golfball size rocks. I check the ball joints and tie rod ends when I service the truck every 2500 miles and the are always tight. I have poly rack bushings never noticed it until recently. I would think it's steering related since the vibration is coming through the steering wheel. Rack, tie rod ends, intermediate shaft, or bushings???? Is there anything that is common????

Default Re: Noise and vibration in steering wheel

the 4Runner uses rack and pinion steering... It's naturally going to transmit more ground "feel" through the steering wheel. That's the trade off for much more crisp and responsive steering.
