2010 Rav4 Limited AWD V6. Started having a vibration felt only in passenger front seat between 40-60mph. Replaced per mechanics instructions front struts, lower control arms and rebalanced tires. No change at all. Replaced front struts and sway bar end links. Very MINOR improvement. Later a groan when accelerating from a standstill was noticed from the rear.
Vibration can now be felt in all seats, but front passenger is still the most noticeable. There also now is a slight whine while accelerating but not consistent. I have heard about a problem with the rear differential front bearing, but both Toyota and our mechanic doesn't seem to know about it. Any one else with this issue that resolved it?
