Feels like I'm getting rear ended when I stop

I tried pushing up the driveshaft by the rear diff and nothing but towards the middle it did .. It's what I tock the picture off that part moves a little we're it has the rubber around it

 

Does this only happen in the summer? When the AC kicks on and you're stopped at a light, it will feel like you get a light bump in the rear. Totally normal.

 

yes!!!!!! I forgot to mention that .. It has happen once or twice with out the ac but it's mostly when the ac is on

It has probably happened mostly when you had the AC on. After a while you sort of get used to it and might feel it even when the AC isn't on. (sort of like how we all used to get phantom vibrations in our phone pockets)

I think you're fine. Don't worry about the carrier bearing.

 

Correct me if im wrong but i was told it was the Leaf springs binding up and release after stop, happens to me from time to time. My recall leaf spring came in so August 25th they will be replaced and hopefully that wont happen anymore if it does then its something else.

 

There was another member with a similar thread who thought it was the slip yoke. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/weird-feeling-at-a-stop-and-start.436057/ I also posted about the following TSB:

 

If its the AC, which is very common, it will happen while you are just sitting there stopped. All of a sudden youll feel a 'bump'. The AC clutch engages which in turn increases engine rpm. If its the slip yoke or leaf springs, it will likely occur when starting to let off the brakes and pressure is released off the slip yoke or springs. This is also quite common. I have the AC 'bump' all the time. I use to have the slip yoke bind on my last tacoma.

 

Completely normal. You get use to it and move on with life

 

I just had my rear leaf replace a month ago , i still get it a lot of people are saying is the ac.. I've only notice it when I have the ac on so I guess it's normal

 

My 2006 TRD Sport has done that since new.Now I've gotten so used to it I don't pay it any attention to it.I've kinda thought it was the A/C also like the compressor turning on and off.

 

OP, have you been able to get this figured out? My 07 is doing something similar. Really rough stops and sometimes starts. And sometimes while sitting at a full stop it'll bump forward.
