After a 2 month wait i got my new FJ last Friday....absolutely love it!!! Question, I have a slight vibration in the steering wheel, mostly noticable at highway speeds. You can even see it shake. Again, it is minor, but noticable. Is this normal? Anyone else experiencing this? I have had many SUV's and 4x4's but never had this type of issue, especially being new. I am returning it to the dealer next week for a remote starter and was going to have them look at it. Comments?

Not normal, take it back to the dealer.
Have them check the wheel balence.
More than likely a weight fell off.

Thanks guys. Actually I checked another FJ forum and there is an extensive blog on this. It didn't seem like anyone had an exact answer, however, the problem points to either, or a combination of, wheel balance, tires being out of round, shocks, springs, alignment, etc. I will definitely have the dealer check it out as I agree, it is not normal. Some FJ owners have even swapped out the Dunlops for a different brand at no cost or a small increase as long as there is not too much mileage on them. I will post my findings.
