I noticed when i let my car run the steering wheel makes some noise... like it vibrates.. if i grab it tight then itll stop but as soon as i let it go the top of it vibrates and you can hear it... what do i do?? or is this normal???

Mine does the same thing. It's done it since I bought it 4 years ago, and back then it only had 89k on it(sitting at 192.5k now). From what I can tell, it does it worse the lower it idles. Most of the time I idle around 650-750 rpm, it doesn't do it when it's still warming up(idling at 1200-1500 rpm), which makes me think it's just idling too low.

h,mmmm interesting... mayb... ne1 else with a statement or a solution?

things to make the car vibration go down could be a tune up (which is just a spark plug change) an oil change, and if its while driving making sure your tires are balanced, and your alignment is good.

A tune up can smooth the engine out alot.

The timing has been done by Toyota every 30k, the oil gets changed every 2500-3500(Castrol Syntec), the spark plugs are less than 6 months old(Denso Iridium), and the tires have nothing to do with vibration while sitting still. I've had the car for 4 years and it's done it the whole time. The factory ECU just idles a little bit low.
