    Had the vibrations, checked play on CV and it was Outrageously loose. Performed this ECGS bushing fix and vibration is gone. If you are doing CVs as well, and don't have a core charge, cut the tail end off one, remove the retaining ring, and use as a bushing install tool. Aligns it perfectly.👍

    Wow.... had I known this 3 months ago I would've never sold my 2022 Toyota 4Runner. Ultimately, the noise was driving me crazy as well as the steering wheel shimmy I would experience. I only had about 5700 miles on before selling. I bought my truck new with 3 miles on it.... I've taken my 4Runner to the dealership multiple times for a noise that I would hear on the driver side. It was driving me crazy. Nobody at the dealership could figure out the problem and no one could hear what I was hearing and feeling and they would just say that the truck drives like it supposed to. It upsets me that it's a known issue that Toyota hasn't addressed. Well according to a forum I just recently came across today this is a known issue.... this video just confirms it too for me... sigh

    Great Video! Replaced the needle bearing with a Bushing, BUT..... I believe we used a cheaper Bushing and its shot now. Axle loose and a lot of Vibration while driving. This time we wisened up and got the correct fitting one like you had installed from East Coast Gear Supply. Should be have a tighter tolerance, we hope. Many said, dont get the cheaper ones. Get the East Coast Gear Supply. Hoping their removal tool, we also got is a little smaller than the one we had before. Cant get the special piece to go inside past this busing we have in it....Tried everything! Thanks again for a great Video !!! Helped a ton, since its been awhile since we replaced the stock needle bearings. We also say "Numb Nutz" here in Idaho !!!

    Spot on. Around 20-30 mph you get a vibration felt in steering wheel and floor joes and a slight growling noise. It goes away in 4wd. ECGS is great, they will sell you the kit including new bushing, seal, bearing puller and install tool. Took me about 3 hours start to finish. No loose CV axle, no problems now. 2016 TRD sport 4wd.

I'm going to replace my needle bearing as well before it gets worse, and this video shows just how easy it really is. Purchasing the tools from ECGS is probably a good idea to make things go easier, and is alot less expensive than paying someone to do the service for you. Again, great video. Thanks!

    @maxnuccio2440 21 день назад

    I appreciate the video. Just ran out and checked my drivers side cv. Definitely a lot of play.
    Apparently the needle bearing is part of the issue. Meaning it should have tighter tolerance or use this bushing for ECGS. But! If you watch the video on ECGS you’ll see that the front diff internal bearing seat machining is the real issue. There is a lot of play there unlike the Yukon Gears housing he shows in the video.
    Seems like the bushing helps but ultimately the machining of the housing and bearing fitment is an issue that Toyota could have recalled along with better needle bearing or bushing instead and dropped an overall improved variation!
    Maybe best option is to go with an aftermarket front diff with locker then the runner will be fully locked and loaded.

I had some shaking in cold Canadian winter but previous owner neglected driveshaft lubrication. I lubricated all points and pushed out old grease, afterwards it was fine.

    Have to be careful because that driver side is a little sloppy even after you do the bush swap. I had all the symptoms, did the swap, didn’t fix the symptoms. Turned out to be a the passenger side front wheel bearing. I had checked that bearing and would have sworn it was good, no play at all. Mechanic wasn’t sure either but he said if he had to guess it was that pac side bearing. Changed it, yep that was it.

    You could thread the rod onto the the rectangular puller nut and use it as a handle to install the nut. easier than trying to thread it while it is sitting loose in the hole and reduces the potential of dropping it into the gear box.

    As an added backup, why not wrap a piece of safety wire around that plate when you insert it into the diff? If you offset the plate on the outside , it might give you better visibility of the plate on the inside to ensure you have proper alignment. Other option for freezing is to use a can of CRC Freeze Spray. It cools to -60. I don't know if that cold runs the risk of fracture due to it being brittle though. I installed some bearings before and chilled them down with a can of computer duster tipped upside down. That helped quite a bit.

No leaks from anything but a front end vibration that feels like I'm going over a cattle grid, happens loaded or unloaded, in h4 or h2, at specific speed (45, 65 and 85mph).

    I just bought a 99 taco and the previous owner has the driveshaft out with these issues but my taco has manual hubs. For some reason my manual hub differentials dont work with this bushing.

    Just discovered after watching you that I have the same movement in my axle on my 2008 FJ..
    What was your source for your replacement axle.. Probably will change out mine on that side while I am in there..along with the bushing which I just ordered..
    Thanks

    Could this part be the solution my problem? So when I’m in 2h there is a slight shake in the wheel. And my wheel alignment is slightly off. Lmk my truck is a 2021 Toyota 4Runner venture.

    Toyota will be replacing my needle bearing. It has the lifetime warranty so a needle bearing will go back in. Don’t want to void the warranty with a non Toyota part. But if it was on me I would use the bushing.
