Needle Bearing ECGS and TSB

If Toyota puts out a TSB it means it’s a problem with stock trucks. It just becomes more noticeable with lifted trucks

 

Did they end up correcting the problem! I have a 2020 and have a weird rotation vibe at low speeds after lifting.

 

Even more strange, it was not there for first week after lift, then appeared.

 

Not really strange. That’s just how the needle bearing problem goes. I didn’t have it for a long while... then I did. Then I put the bushing in and never thought about it again.

edit: put it in 4hi. Does the weird droning sound go away?

if you answered yes- needle bearing.

 

I thought it was for the 2nd. Gen. only with the bearing taking a crap, give ECGS a call they should be able to help you figure this out

 

ok that is what I was thinking also, I will give them a call. thanks

 

Just swapped mine out, might be the best $60 I've spent on the truck. I had the cyclical vibe between 35 and 40 mph that went away when switching into 4wd, 2014 Baja with 67k miles. Wasn't too difficult, although I'd recommend an actual puller instead of the slide hammer type as it wouldn't move for me. Everything else is easily found on this forum.

 

if anyone has one of those pullers let me know! seems a bit expensive to buy it new for what it is.

 

There’s a thread in the marketplace for people passing theirs along. I’d check there.
