my 96 cruiser all of a sudden developed a sever shake at 40mph. below and above that speed it seems fine. At first i thought i had lost a tire weight but im thinking now it could be a bearing or something else. Any suggestions what it may be?

IMHE, the vibrations often come from vehicles that are neglected and over 25 years old. People need to understand that yes the vehicles is a Landcruiser so the reliability is good. However you must also remember these vehicles are old and things are wearing out and need to be replaced or inspected.IME one cause of vibrations that seemed to come on without any warning was related to one or more tires having low pressure., more common when the weather turned cold or after the vehicle had sat for awhile and the pressure leaked down.
Ant the head gasket will blow, don't forget that....Check the sun roof and make sure it shuts correctly if not you will get death wobble.

I heard that if your brake light is out, this happensAnt the head gasket will blow, don't forget that.
How old are the tires, how long have they sat between driving? My KO2 were less than 5 years old and developed issues causing a shake in the steering wheel.Well…. it wasn’t the head gasket or the sun roof. Still not sure what caused this. I drove it the next day and I couldn’t get it to vibrate again. So weird. It was a vibration in the steering wheel that shook back and forth from left to right. Check air pressure and all lugs. Did t see any loose or missing bolts but it was definitely in the steering area that caused this.
Tires only have about 10k miles in them and they are 3 years old.
