So as some of you might know, I have been having some vibration issues from the rear of my truck. Well I put back on all my stock suspension and stock wheels and tires and still having issues. One thing I noticed was that my passenger side rear wheel sticks out about 1/2" - 3/4" more than the drivers side. Couldn't really tell if the bed was off a little or something else might be wrong. Either way, time to take it to the dealership to see whats wrong. :sosad:

Sounding more and more like an axle issue. Maybe the rearend housing shifted? That would take the driveline out of alignment causing the U-joints to bind giving you the vibration.

damn bo, that sucks...good luck
So I got my truck back from the dealership yesterday. I found a little leak on the transmission output shaft and they replaced the seal. They said they looked over the whole drive line and could not find anything wrong. When I slow down at about 15mph my truck vibrates so bad that the plastic rattles inside the car. This is F'in annoying. Now I have to have a rep from Toyota come look at my truck to find out whats wrong :sosad:

If your output shaft seal is leaking something is out of alignment that caused the seal to wear.Turtleboy said:
Damn bro. I am sorry to hear about your truck. As long as you can replicate the problem with the techs they should be able to help you out.
Take 'em for a drive.

The tech told me that the stuff leaking from the seal was just something that they coated on the outside of it to seal it a little better and the seal was not actually damaged.Silver-Bolt said:
I did take two techs for a ride and they had no idea what was causing the vibrations. Said my u-joints were good and the drive shaft was straight. We test drove a brand new truck and I could still feel the vibration in the new one, but it feels like it cushioned and whatever it is, is warn out on my truck.
The service manager called me today and said he will set up a appointment when the Toyota rep calls to let him know when he will be in town.
Well,that sounds pretty close to the Suzuki Samurai story.Drive shaft was fu..d,disbalanced,made HARD vibr. , and i didn't see anything wrong from the outside...but when i took it apart!!!first thing to check is bearing in the middle of the driveshaft.If driveshaft has some free space to rattle with or inside of that bearing...here you go.nachos615 said:
Turtleboy, Mossman was correct. That humm you hear is your ABS activating. I test drove quite a few Taco's before I bought one and they all did it. I even took it in to make sure it was not anything else. The tech that drove with has a Taco and said it's normal.Turtleboy said:
Well today I wanted to fix my truck instead of go Christmas shopping and I think I just figured out what was wrong. I was looking at the carrier bearing and it looked like it might have been tightened down off to the side instead of the center. I centered it by eye and took it for a test spin and the vibrations were less. Gonna get some shopping done now and really see if its better.
Anyone wanna take a pic of their carrier bearing and post it up that has not had and issues with vibrations? Thanks!

Good thing about it - it's not to late!Another 500-700km. and the the bearing(+...) will have to be changed.It's not to complicated to fix now.But you have to level that bearing ASAP,because if you will drive a lot now,unleveled bearing will kill your joints on the driveshaft.The joints hates vibr.Plus it's no good for diff. and transfer case.People,sorry about my english writing,i'm still new person in english speaking worldTurtleboy said:
