Tacoma Vibration - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

My 99 Tacom PreRunner has a slight vibration when I am at low speeds or when the RPM's are low. I have 106,000 miles on the truck and I sm turning 31's. I think that the u-joints might be bad because when I greased them the noise and Vibration seemed to disipate. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Grease the zerks too, that may help as well and greasing the U-joints.

Thanks, I have already greased them. How hard is it to change the u-joints? I have chaged them on a older jeep but it looks a lot harder on the Yota.

Im guessing that you are talking about the youke on the driveshaft? To the best of my knowledge, PreRunners are 4x2s so they dont have u-joints on the front.
If it was your driveshaft youke, the vibration would get worse as speeds increase.
Perhaps you have a broken motor mount.

I don't think that is an engine mount cause I can run the engine in the drive way juicing it and don't hear a thing. It almost sounds like the rocks in a tin can but i know its not my muffler cause I got a brand knew one and the sound is still there. Youare right i think I do need to replace the youke on the end of the drive shaft. Is that a difficult proccess?
