I have the same issues with my 2015 Tacoma TRD Sport, my is not lifted however, it vabrates between 50 to 65 MPH, I went to the dealership and explain them the problem and mentioned that is a lot of us that are having the same issue. They told me that that had a recall for model up to 2010 for vibration problems but for newer models it should not be happening anymore. I told them that the problem still happening based on what I have read and they suggested tohave all of has to file a complain with toyota in order to set a recall and have this problem taken care of. I recommend to all of us to submit a complain and have toyota recall these models to fix the problem. Lets do it
Well I found out my issue is in the transmission control computer. Unplugged truck battery for a day and it's back shifting fine. Random but I heard Toyota is working on a TSB for this. Worth a try since it cost nothing.
07' Tacoma 2wd. After doing a 3" suspension lift front and add a leaf 2.5" lift in the rear I had a shuddering vibration from a stop till about 20-30mph, it still exists at higher speeds but not as noticable. It's due to the angle of the u-joint. I used this old man emu kit and 90% of the vibration is gone, possibly all hard to tell. Thanks! much easier install than doing the shims in the rear.
This repair just did the trick for me. After spending several hundreds of dollars trying to track down the issue... This one worked. Lol And it was the least expensive and a piece of cake. I do recommend after installing and doing your test drive that if it worked... get back under there and check tighten the bolts. Just as a safety check... Mine were still A-O-K. Awesome! Thanks !!
Rowan Keyser glad to hear this fixed your problem! Thanks for adding in the retightening. I always do this after installing any part, but failed to mention in this video!
Another reason for a vibration is that Toyota uses a faulty needle pin bearing in the driver side cv axle, east coast gear supply makes a clamshell bushing to fix that vibration
bnuttsgee vibrations front and rear seem to be a problem for the newer gen Tacoma's. With that given response it seems like they know it's an issue and or don't want to fix it. The older gen trucks also experienced driveline vibrations post lift. This is what I found to work best for me and my set up. Also have a front diff drop kit added to the truck. Hope this helps!
I’m sorry if you answered this question,But is this solution for a lifted truck or a stock truck?I ask because a mechanic put in a center bearing support and all three new u joints and now I have a bounce or a rumble whatever it’s called,He said I now need a torque converter,I’m hoping not!!Thanks for the great video sir!!
My bounces as well around 35- 40 mph did you ever figure out what it was ? Or was it the torque converter? I hope it get a response because it’s annoying
@@antonioluzotonio9666 yeah I never got a bouncing / shake accelerating before I had my mechanic put the new joints / center bearing in . Now my clunking / squeaking it gone but I have this issue now where it feels like it’s bouncing and it shakes the cabin a bit
No that sounds more like an alignment or tire balance issue. This is felt more in the pedal/in the seat underneath you since it has to do with the driveline/or needle bearing
Hey bro, I'm alittle confused.. maybe you can explain it to me, so by adding the spacers wouldn't that create more play in the u joint housing? Also I'm having the hard shaking vibarting issue with my 2016 tacoma, when I shake the driveshaft near the u- joint these is alittle movement (play) is that normal cause of the rubber gasket or there should be no movement(play) at all? Any info is helpful, let me know what you think. Thanks!
By adding the spacers you are dropping the carrier bearing to a better angle after lifting it. Shooting for a “closer” to stock angle. This isn’t going to be perfect but a slight improvement. As long as you torque to the recommended specs you’ll be good. There will be slight play since it is designed to spin/flex. If you are concerned then verify torque specs. The other thing that could potentially be your issue is the needle bearing. I had to replace this as well since the toyota part is cheap and tends to wear quicker after a lift. I used the East Coast Gear Supply clamshell bushing which replaces the needle bearing. eastcoastgearsupply.com/i-8536125-toyota-8-clamshell-bushing-eliminates-needle-bearing.html
My truck used to make that chirping sound too. It would stop as soon as I applied a little pressure to the clutch pedal. I had the dealership install a Throwout Bearing UPGRADE/REPAIR KIT that I purchased from Underdog Racing Development's website (link below). I haven't had any problems since the installation. It was $225.00 for the part, but I'd say it's worth it because the chirping sound is gone and it looks like it will prevent any further wear and tear on the aluminum shaft that the throwout bearing rides on. urdusa.com/store/p1260519023/Throwout-Bearing-UPGRADE/REPAIR-KIT,-2005+-Tacoma-V6-6-Speed/product_info.html
Tacoma FAN if you are experiencing vibration issues this would be the first thing I would try, due to its relatively affordable price. This worked for me and my vibes after I lifted the truck, but I cannot really guarantee it will fix everyone's vibrations. With that said, it is a really well built product and Old Man Emu is a reputable brand. The next thing to do after this would be looking into axel shims, which basically are the same concept, but go between the rear axel and the leaf pack. There is plenty of more information on tacomaworld forum regarding axel shims and other vibration related fixes. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions and what you wind up deciding!
I have a 1998 Toyota Tacoma SR5 extended cab V6 automatic. I had the driveshaft balanced, new carrier bearing and U-joints. Still vibrates at 50mph to 75mph? This damn truck is driving me bananas! Toyota what the hell is the matter with your corporation letting these trucks be sold to millions of people with this obvious problem?
troy saechao There seems to be two sets of vibes. There is a first set around 20-30mph and a higher set anywhere from 50-70mph. The first set should be resolved by the carrier bearing drop kit and the higher end is most likely going to be your needle bearing that needs to be replaced. East Coast Gear Supply has a replacement for the needle bearing which is a lot better than factory. eastcoastgearsupply.com/i-8536125-toyota-8-clamshell-bushing-eliminates-needle-bearing.html
I'm also having a vibration/humming issue with my 2015 tacoma 4x4 with the 3" lift. I tried installing the carrier bearing drop/spacer but the vibration is still there. Now I'm thinking it's coming from the front diff. I watched other videos on youtube and they recommended changing the needle bearing, not sure if I should do that.
Asee-559 I haven’t looked into changing the needle bearing. Fortunately my vibrations were solved with the carrier bearing and front diff drop. What brand off lift do you have?
i added this same exact piece to my 2016 tacoma before actually seeing this video, most definitely solved my vibration issues as well, also have a front diff drop kit installed as well OME 885 Coils Bilstein 5100 front/rear @ zero Toytec add-a-leaf had vibrations before installing front diff drop kit and this OME carrier bearing spacer
Jut put on my 2009 TRD 4x4 with no lift, did not have major vibration, but did make improvement. Notice more at low speeds and accelerating. Thanks for info. Still have constant hum, have always had it?
Mark Montgomery that’s great to hear! The hum could possibly be coming from the tires you are running. Are the tires on your truck stock or after market? I find that all-terrains and especially mud terrain tires will give off a distinct humming sound.
Replaced my u joints now I have a vibration between 30 and 40mph and then a loud resonance at 55mph ,,, could it be a bad u joint ?? Carrier bearing ?? Or angle issue ?? Truck runs fine just that annoying ass vibration
Andrew Goodwin since a leveling kit changes the geometry of your driveline angle from when it was factory this could be beneficial to reduce/eliminate vibrations.
Has anyone had these low RPM shudder/vibration on stock height? My stock 2016 DC OR is giving me some vibration at lower speeds and rpms. I'm at a loss. I'm a decent parts swapper, engines suspension and such but I'm no mechanic... Don't do well with diagnosing things like this
I just replaced the center support bearing and all three u joints now my mechanic is saying the vibration is from the torque converter,I’m really hoping this is not the case!!Best of luck with yours my friend!!
Yes. After adding a 3 inch lift, driveline vibrations were experienced. When lifting, the driveline angle is changed and no longer to factory specs as intended.
my vibration is gone by 50% after install this part. what else could be the problem? I already had needle pin bearing installed at the time of 3 inch kit installtion. thanks
Silent KBH the product was specifically designed for lifted Tacomas. I have yet to try it on a stock truck. Might be something you want to have the dealership look into. Also, you might find some information on tacomaworld
Did you fix the vibration is rear a block spacer or aal the block spacers are angled did you install it correctly where the shorted faces forward and higher end of the block to rear
Could be needle bearing only way to check is drive the car to where you get the vibrations and switch it to 4H if vib goes away it's the needle bearing or could be the carrier bearing itself check fr play, and check wheel bearings, and balance the wheels or get a road force done to tires
Justin my first question would be, does your truck have a 2 piece drive line with a carrier bearing? Sorry I'm not too familiar with the prerunners. This could possibly help and or maybe look into rear shims for the leaf pack. There is more information to be found on tacomaworld. Hope this helps and best of luck fixing your vibrations!
Jordan Smith the part being installed is a carrier bearing drop kit made by Old Man Emu (OME). From the factory our trucks are built a specific way in order to work in unison. Once we lift out trucks we are changing the balance of parts from the original way they were intended. Basically what this kit does, is to attempt to fix drive line angles. Once lifting the truck, the drive line angle is no longer the same or inline like it was from the factory. This kit adds a spacer, dropping your carrier bearing, relieving some of the stress on the driveline and helping restore driveline angles. For most, this fixes driveline vibrations. For some, axel shims are also needed to correct vibration problems. For few, replacing the driveline is the solution. This is all dependent on your setup, as far as lift, tires, and other modifications pertaining too your suspension. Hope this helps!
Jeffrey Carter I have heard this from a bunch of other people as well. It’s unfortunate. I feel like it’s the dealerships way of not fixing a known issue/design flaw. Is your Tacoma lifted or still stock?
MartiArtisan no mods. Just a stock 2017 DCOR. It only happens from a stop until I reach 2nd gear. No vibrations in the other gears. No f’n way this is “normal”. I have an appointment with another Toyota dealer tomorrow am. If that fix in the video would work for me, I’d buy it in a heartbeat. I first want to make sure my driveshaft and u joint is ok. So frustrating with an otherwise great truck.
Jeffrey Carter I’m hoping everything works out for you and that going to a new dealership will offer better compliance/options. The carrier bearing drop kit is mainly geared towards lifted Tacoma’s, but it might help. Feel free to fill us all in on what you hear back from the new dealership you’ll be going too. I’m sure others, including myself are curious about the response. I agree that the Tacoma’s are great vehicles despite their minor issues. Best of luck Jeffrey!
I put on a new carrier support bearing as well as all three new u joints and now have a wicked vibration at about 3rd gear my mechanic says I now need a torque converter.....Very frustrating!!
Would this work on my 2015 Tacoma? I have a vibration that comes in at about 38 MPH - 40 MPH. It's a base access cab completely stock. No alterations. 4 by 4.
Maxwell Crazycat Potentially. What I would do is check to see if the vibration goes away at the same speed while in 4WD. If it goes away in 4WD then it’s going to be your needle bearing that needs replacing. If that’s the case I would recommend the East Coast Gear Supply (ECGS) replacement bushing, as it’s a lot stronger then the factory needle bearing
@@MartiArtisan It is the same in 4 wheel. No change. Which needle bearing are you referring to? The prop shaft center bearing? I don't see anything wrong with it. Trans mount looks good too.
Maxwell Crazycat the needle bearing I’m referring too is the driver side cv axle needle bearing. If the vibration isn’t going away in 4wd then that is most likely not the issue.
@@MartiArtisan Thanks for the clarification. I will ask my local Toyota dealer what they think. Hopefully they won't be evasive or give me the run around.
I have the same vibration at high speeds like 78 mph and 80mph and im at factory height those this part will fix my problem is 2016 trd off road dcsb ???? Thanks in adavance hopefully it fix the problem and is not for lifted tacomas because dealership said is NORMAL on them 3rd gen tacomas
I have also been told from the dealership that vibrations are "normal." Mainly, the carrier bearing kit is used when lifting the vehicle, but it might be worth a shot. It is pretty affordable, but might not do anything since this problem is occurring even without a lift. I have been doing some reading on the forums and it seems that some people have been getting their engines "re-torqued" in order to fix the problem. Basically, the engine mounts are loosened, the motor is shifted to the left then re-torqued. This could or could not be your problem. I would say it might be worth looking into this/contacting you're local dealership. Here is the article I found with similar problems you have reported (as far as the high mph vibration): www.toyotanation.com/forum/617-tacoma-3rd-generation-2016/1228961-vibration-tied-rpm-range-issue-anyone-else-notice.html
I just did added fox 2.5 coilovers w/resi's and fox 2.0 rear with Dakar leafsprings. Also have the OME carrier bearing drop kit. I still have a vibration around 20-25mph..... I did the front coilovers first and it drove perfectly. After I added the rear lift I got the vibration.
todd mayta nice choice on the fox Coilovers! How do you like them? Most likely it's because the driveline angle has been altered more with the rear Dakar leaf pack. In bigger terms it's a harmonic imbalance of the driveline that causes the vibrations. From what I read it works for some people and others it lessens the vibes. I would suggest looking into a "shim" kit if you haven't already. A couple of companies make them like Toytec and billstein, probably the cheapest route is making your own. It will be trial and error to find the right degree of shim necessary but it will be worth it in the end. Tacomaworld has a lot of information regarding shim kits and driveline angles.
todd mayta did you ever fix your issue? I have the exact same problem it vibrates from 15-25mph. Acceleration, cruise, and deceleration. I also did an add leaf spring.
For those of you who have tried the carrier bearing drop kit; but it hasn’t worked or completely eliminated your vibration or hum. I have been informed by Brian Cioffi that a clamshell bushing fixed the issues as well. This is sold by East Coast Gear Supply, and is the “Toyota 8” Clamshell Bushing (Eliminates Needle Bearing)” What this does: “Replaces Driver side CV axle needle bearing with bushing to help control Vibration and shaft float common on these differentials.” eastcoastgearsupply.com/i-8536125-toyota-8-clamshell-bushing-eliminates-needle-bearing.html ***I have not personally tested this method. More information and install should be acquired and attempted at your discretion.***
Please understand to not use a background soundtrack when making an instructional video. Its extremely distracting and very often you can't even hear the voice instruction.
I have a 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road 4x4. 10,087 miles it started locking up grinding clanking anytime you start off from a grade . Horrible situation. Toyota says its normal operation. Refuse to warranty.Gonna get rid of it any takers? Pure crap in my opinion. Customer service is the absolute most arrogant filth to deal with. This truck has never been 4x4 use mudding or rock crawling and is junk. I am a senior and worked around oilfield equip. This is a poor excuse for a truck. Oh and PS tried towing a utility trailer, won't tow half the rating. This is a toy not a truck. Never again Toyota...
DO you mean when it rolls back on an uphill. If it starts making noise and trying to stop the rolling, it is normal. On the off-road and Pro toyota uses the crawl control as anti roll. I do not like it either. I do not like how Toyota implemented this, instead of using the brakes like other manufacturers do.
Put a lift kit on any vehicle and you're just asking for trouble. Putting a non-Toyota part on a Toyota is, in my opinion, always a mistake. Been there and sorry I did it. Cost me. And no reason to. There are suppliers of Toyota parts that are much less expensive than buying them from a dealer - yes, genuine Toyota parts. If anyone wants more of my sage advice, just let me know.
Replaced mine with a Chinese made brg. Now truck had vibes. Even had shaft balanced. Old brg. Was worn and even had a bad u joint and the truck had absolutely no vibration prior. Been to tranny shop 3 times with no luck... frustrating and expensive
Please sage me on up?!?!I just put a new carrier support bearing as well as three new u joints and as bad a vibration if not worse!!My mechanic is saying I now needs a torque converter!!Thank You in advance ole sage one

my vibration is gone by 50% after install this part. what else could be the problem? I already had needle pin bearing installed at the time of 3 inch kit installtion. thanks
Alignment. Your alignment specs need to be in the positive as much as possible.
I’m about to add a 2 inch rough country leveling kit to my Tacoma sr5 2x4 will I have that vibration after the install or is it just for 4x4?
It is a possibility, since your changing the driveline angle
What town is that? Looks pretty cool!
TheGeekwad Estacada, OR
So is this just for a lifted Tacoma or will it help on the stock ones. My vibration happens when slowing down between 30 and down to about 5 mph.
Silent KBH the product was specifically designed for lifted Tacomas. I have yet to try it on a stock truck. Might be something you want to have the dealership look into. Also, you might find some information on tacomaworld
I just did a 3x2 readylift and feel a vibration sort of through the gas pedal. Is this where this kit would help? Any info would help
Ryan Murphy this could help. Anytime you lift your vehicle you are change angles and the design of what it was originally intended.
Did you fix the vibration is rear a block spacer or aal the block spacers are angled did you install it correctly where the shorted faces forward and higher end of the block to rear
Shed Squatch still have the vibration blocks where installed correctly
Could be needle bearing only way to check is drive the car to where you get the vibrations and switch it to 4H if vib goes away it's the needle bearing or could be the carrier bearing itself check fr play, and check wheel bearings, and balance the wheels or get a road force done to tires
Can you send the link to that parts please!

MartiArtisan Thanks Marti!
john trinidad no problem!
I've got a 2015 Tacoma prerunner that has a driveline vibration at 45 MPH+.... It's stock, so no lift or anything. Would this help?
Justin my first question would be, does your truck have a 2 piece drive line with a carrier bearing? Sorry I'm not too familiar with the prerunners. This could possibly help and or maybe look into rear shims for the leaf pack. There is more information to be found on tacomaworld. Hope this helps and best of luck fixing your vibrations!
Justin did. You find the. Solution. Yet.. I have same truck and same problems
What's the parts ,do you mind to explain little bit to me?
Jordan Smith the part being installed is a carrier bearing drop kit made by Old Man Emu (OME). From the factory our trucks are built a specific way in order to work in unison. Once we lift out trucks we are changing the balance of parts from the original way they were intended. Basically what this kit does, is to attempt to fix drive line angles. Once lifting the truck, the drive line angle is no longer the same or inline like it was from the factory. This kit adds a spacer, dropping your carrier bearing, relieving some of the stress on the driveline and helping restore driveline angles. For most, this fixes driveline vibrations. For some, axel shims are also needed to correct vibration problems. For few, replacing the driveline is the solution. This is all dependent on your setup, as far as lift, tires, and other modifications pertaining too your suspension. Hope this helps!
I have major vibration when accelerating from a stop. Doesn’t vibrate under light acceleration. 2017 DCOR. Dealer says it’s “working as designed” .
Jeffrey Carter I have heard this from a bunch of other people as well. It’s unfortunate. I feel like it’s the dealerships way of not fixing a known issue/design flaw. Is your Tacoma lifted or still stock?
MartiArtisan no mods. Just a stock 2017 DCOR. It only happens from a stop until I reach 2nd gear. No vibrations in the other gears. No f’n way this is “normal”. I have an appointment with another Toyota dealer tomorrow am. If that fix in the video would work for me, I’d buy it in a heartbeat. I first want to make sure my driveshaft and u joint is ok. So frustrating with an otherwise great truck.
Jeffrey Carter I’m hoping everything works out for you and that going to a new dealership will offer better compliance/options. The carrier bearing drop kit is mainly geared towards lifted Tacoma’s, but it might help. Feel free to fill us all in on what you hear back from the new dealership you’ll be going too. I’m sure others, including myself are curious about the response. I agree that the Tacoma’s are great vehicles despite their minor issues. Best of luck Jeffrey!
Jeffrey Carter did you fix the issue? Im havingbthe same issue with my dmax right now
I put on a new carrier support bearing as well as all three new u joints and now have a wicked vibration at about 3rd gear my mechanic says I now need a torque converter.....Very frustrating!!
Would this work on my 2015 Tacoma? I have a vibration that comes in at about 38 MPH - 40 MPH. It's a base access cab completely stock. No alterations. 4 by 4.
Maxwell Crazycat Potentially. What I would do is check to see if the vibration goes away at the same speed while in 4WD. If it goes away in 4WD then it’s going to be your needle bearing that needs replacing. If that’s the case I would recommend the East Coast Gear Supply (ECGS) replacement bushing, as it’s a lot stronger then the factory needle bearing
@@MartiArtisan It is the same in 4 wheel. No change. Which needle bearing are you referring to? The prop shaft center bearing? I don't see anything wrong with it. Trans mount looks good too.
Maxwell Crazycat the needle bearing I’m referring too is the driver side cv axle needle bearing. If the vibration isn’t going away in 4wd then that is most likely not the issue.
@@MartiArtisan Thanks for the clarification. I will ask my local Toyota dealer what they think. Hopefully they won't be evasive or give me the run around.
Maxwell Crazycat no problem. Best of luck!
Differential carrier drop kit.
I have the same vibration at high speeds like 78 mph and 80mph and im at factory height those this part will fix my problem is 2016 trd off road dcsb ???? Thanks in adavance hopefully it fix the problem and is not for lifted tacomas because dealership said is NORMAL on them 3rd gen tacomas
I have also been told from the dealership that vibrations are "normal." Mainly, the carrier bearing kit is used when lifting the vehicle, but it might be worth a shot. It is pretty affordable, but might not do anything since this problem is occurring even without a lift.
I have been doing some reading on the forums and it seems that some people have been getting their engines "re-torqued" in order to fix the problem. Basically, the engine mounts are loosened, the motor is shifted to the left then re-torqued. This could or could not be your problem. I would say it might be worth looking into this/contacting you're local dealership. Here is the article I found with similar problems you have reported (as far as the high mph vibration):
www.toyotanation.com/forum/617-tacoma-3rd-generation-2016/1228961-vibration-tied-rpm-range-issue-anyone-else-notice.html
Pages 6 and 7 go into the engine re-torquing
Thank you brou for the response
adan rios no problem!
I just did added fox 2.5 coilovers w/resi's and fox 2.0 rear with Dakar leafsprings. Also have the OME carrier bearing drop kit. I still have a vibration around 20-25mph..... I did the front coilovers first and it drove perfectly. After I added the rear lift I got the vibration.
todd mayta nice choice on the fox Coilovers! How do you like them? Most likely it's because the driveline angle has been altered more with the rear Dakar leaf pack. In bigger terms it's a harmonic imbalance of the driveline that causes the vibrations. From what I read it works for some people and others it lessens the vibes. I would suggest looking into a "shim" kit if you haven't already. A couple of companies make them like Toytec and billstein, probably the cheapest route is making your own. It will be trial and error to find the right degree of shim necessary but it will be worth it in the end. Tacomaworld has a lot of information regarding shim kits and driveline angles.
todd mayta hey man did you ever fix it? I have medium Dakars and installed this and still get a vibe at those exact speeds
todd mayta did you ever fix your issue? I have the exact same problem it vibrates from 15-25mph. Acceleration, cruise, and deceleration. I also did an add leaf spring.
For those of you who have tried the carrier bearing drop kit; but it hasn’t worked or completely eliminated your vibration or hum.
I have been informed by Brian Cioffi that a clamshell bushing fixed the issues as well.
This is sold by East Coast Gear Supply, and is the “Toyota 8” Clamshell Bushing (Eliminates Needle Bearing)”
What this does: “Replaces Driver side CV axle needle bearing with bushing to help control Vibration and shaft float common on these differentials.”

***I have not personally tested this method. More information and install should be acquired and attempted at your discretion.***
Please understand to not use a background soundtrack when making an instructional video. Its extremely distracting and very often you can't even hear the voice instruction.
AMEN!!!! That’s why I have closed caption on for idiots like this!
bruh, its his video..he doesn't need advice from you
i have a pulsing vibration in thr fron after lifting my 2018 tacoma. would this help with that?
Potentially, but not exactly sure. Are the vibrations from normal driving or braking?
😀👍
What the hell is up with the LOUD music?????
I have a 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road 4x4. 10,087 miles it started
locking up grinding clanking anytime you start off from a grade .
Horrible situation. Toyota says its normal operation. Refuse to
warranty.Gonna get rid of it any takers? Pure crap in my opinion.
Customer service is the absolute most arrogant filth to deal with. This
truck has never been 4x4 use mudding or rock crawling and is junk. I am a
senior and worked around oilfield equip. This is a poor excuse for a
truck. Oh and PS tried towing a utility trailer, won't tow half the
rating. This is a toy not a truck. Never again Toyota...
That's just ridiculous. I am sorry to hear you're having such an enjoyable experience
DO you mean when it rolls back on an uphill. If it starts making noise and trying to stop the rolling, it is normal. On the off-road and Pro toyota uses the crawl control as anti roll. I do not like it either. I do not like how Toyota implemented this, instead of using the brakes like other manufacturers do.
Put a lift kit on any vehicle and you're just asking for trouble.
Putting a non-Toyota part on a Toyota is, in my opinion, always a mistake. Been there and sorry I did it. Cost me. And no reason to. There are suppliers of Toyota parts that are much less expensive than buying them from a dealer - yes, genuine Toyota parts.
If anyone wants more of my sage advice, just let me know.
Where you can get Toyota Tacoma parts cheaper?
Replaced mine with a Chinese made brg. Now truck had vibes. Even had shaft balanced. Old brg. Was worn and even had a bad u joint and the truck had absolutely no vibration prior. Been to tranny shop 3 times with no luck... frustrating and expensive
Please sage me on up?!?!I just put a new carrier support bearing as well as three new u joints and as bad a vibration if not worse!!My mechanic is saying I now needs a torque converter!!Thank You in advance ole sage one
The music. What the fuck
