Your front struts are leaking, which is causing your vehicle to handle inconsistently while driving. You shouldn't need to replace struts this soon on a vehicle driven under normal conditions, and this appears to be a known issue affecting multiple 4-Runners. Fixing this will involve replacing the damaged front struts.

Your steering wheel covering is peeling off on its own without any external cause like lotion or sunscreen. This peeling reduces your grip on the wheel and continues to get worse over time, affecting how the steering wheel feels and functions. The fix would likely involve replacing the steering wheel or re-covering it with a new material.
