you never do the rear window clearance mod? a.k.a. remove headrests and toss it in storage mod. lol. just leave one for your son.

 

Nah if u take um off u cant put stickers all over the windows like @bkiel311

 

I did until my aunty hit her head on the back window going over a pothole lol after that they went back on.lol

 

just give your backseat passengers one of these and tell um stop complaining. hahaha

 

Real bangahz and braddahz who drive Tacomas no need head gear!

 

Just wrap their head in bubble wrap tell em good luck next time ha.

 

If I have humming noise while driving... 55mph+ have a loud humming noise up front. And on top of that warped rotors cause when I brake, my steering wheel shakes. Bad wheel bearing?

 

Jack the truck up. See if the wheel will wobble in all directions, or if it makes a gritty noise when you spin the wheel. If either of those are true then the wheel bearing is bad. Warped brakes can wear a wheel bearing down.

If it only wobbles top and bottom (in the camber direction) then the ball joints could be bad, if it only wobbles left to right (in the toe direction) then the tie rods could be bad.

 

I jacked it up yesterday day. Yes I'm changing my lower ball joint due to a grease leak. Also going to change my outter tie rod ends because there is a rip and leaking grease. Replacing both sides. But when I spin my wheel I didn't hear anything, went smoothly. This is the second time my rotors warped which was about 1-2kmiles

 

what rotors do you have? did you bed them in properly?

 

Oem rotors. What do you mean by bed?

 

I forgot to mention. Driving regular. I could hear like a growling noise, normal speeds gets alittle louder when driving faster. I don't know if it's my bearings or my loud ass duratracs. Need to put some stocks to see if noise changes but stocks is sold...... So I guess gotta borrow my dads sequoia wheels

 

Might be time to change the diff needle bearing to the ECGS bushing.

I hoping it wouldn't be that. Just a bigger job for my lazy ass, I was just hoping it would be just the bearing. I'm going try put it in 4wd see if anything changes.

 

Bedding in the rotors is just breaking them in properly. Shouldn't be the brakes if there is noise/vibes when not on the brakes.

 

Ohh alright. When driving I got vibes. It's hard to fully know what's making noise when my truck is already loud. It's like on going problems with my truck

 

Does the growling gp away in 4wd?

 

Vibes when not on the brakes is not the brakes but something else... Vibes when on the brakes is often the rotors.... I would have bad vibes when on the brakes (going downhill) when the rotors were warped. Resurfaced rotors didn't last too long either.. I have a hill to blame.. but if you drive a lot, and are heavy in the gas and brake, same difference... the slotted and dimpled brake rotors were pretty good.. lasted the longest..

 

This morning when I did it, around 35-40mph. It sounded the same. So I'm not too sure
