When you say wheel balance,i take it you are talking about the steering wheel !
I feel if it was the tyres the vibration would be there at all speeds
The exact same symptoms. Only vibrated at higher speeds. New tyres fitted and it was fine. Didn't need balancing. But a quick look at the tyres will rule this in/out.
I'm driveing it today & the vibrating in the steering wheel is back,this time when im driving at 80kmph,originally it was at 120kmph...is it just a case that they didnt do the balancing right or is it a sign of something else?
That could be the power steering pump. There could also be a bearing/bush worn in the steering rack causing the wobble, Doubt it as it's only an 08 Toyota, but still....Also,when i have the steering wheel locked fully & i am reversing at the same time,there is a noise {straining sound}coming from front driver wheel area...could this be connected to wheel balancing also?i just want to have some idea of the problem when i bring it back,[AGAIN}.
That could be the power steering pump.
Yeah Check the level of fluid in the reservoir in the engine bay. It should have a steering wheel logo on the cap. top it up with ATF fluid or the pump will die and then it'll cost more. If it empties regularly then there's a seal gone and a rebuilt power steering rack may be necessary. Annoying but not dangerousMost likely, but generally nothing to worry about.
