    Driving on pavement around corners with the front differential locked is really hard on the differential that's why everyone suggests you drive in a straight line to check the front differential bearing.

    I'm still having issues with my truck. My latest guess is the u-joint at the transfer case. I don't have any slop but, after a long drive (100+ miles) one side of that joint was hot to the touch. The other side of the same u-joint and all the others were not hot.

    See this thread for all the things I've tried so far:
    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/267190-yet-another-front-differential-post.html

    This thread has a video with the noise I'm hearing (poor quality though):

    If I'm looking to buy a bushing tool, how do I pay? I've never really bought from people online unless I could meet and pay cash. I don't use PayPal... Suggestions?

    Yes, night and day difference. Yes, had the vibration in the floor, gas pedal and steering wheel and it's gone. I had 100k with the growl and no damage to my axle so it was more of just an annoyance as it turns out.

    I'm getting pretty fed up with my 08 4x4 long-bed. Installed 5100's and rear 1.5 block at 30k miles, got the vibration immediately.Denied under warranty by toyota as they cited the lift as the cause. Had the dealer replace the bearing and CV 1.5 years ago. 30k later I have the ECGS bushing installed for preventative reasons, no new CV as they didn't notice any scoring. Directly after installing the bushing I get an audible vibe between 55-70mph that goes away when turning the wheel right at high speed (long sweeping highway corner). Sounds like a wheel bearing right? Changed that out today and it did nothing. Does anyone have any advice? I'm seriously close to getting rid of this truck as it's been nothing but trouble after a 2.5 inch lift. I'm really starting to miss my 06 Tundra LTD... HELP!

    able to pick up the parts? i will be coming through there April 26-28 and will need to get the bushing. unfortunately shipping is like $15 to my house. I would assume you would have zero liability as you could just return the part if i bailed, and i will be paying cash. also looking to buy a used removal tool if anyone is interested. just PM me if you would be willing to pick the part up and meet me most likely fri evening or sunday midday.

    also, how are people installing the part? are you buying the install tool as well?
