    I have a 2019 4x4 manual tacoma with about 71k miles on it. I recently was messing around and doing some light donuts on some flat dirt ground for about 30 seconds, and the next day I was driving on the highway and noticed that while going around 49-50 mph there was a loud whining noise coming from my front end and it would be accompanied with vibrations by my feet. I think I could also hear it around 25mph but it was much much quieter, not sure. Not sure what it is and am wondering if anyone else has this problem!

    Light donuts? Really? Sure there was no noise before those low calorie donuts?

    There are drain plug grommets in the front lower A-Arms that cause an annoying whining/whistling if they are missing.

    You were in 4wd? Doing them. If so, guessing you stressed needle bearing.

    Definitely the low-calorie ones. I'm Pretty sure this howl wasn't there before. Usaully the howl is in the rear which is from the "rear diff howl" that happens in alot of tacomas. This one was in the front strangly enough

    No, 2wd. Also, checked if it was my wheel bearings and I did not feel anything play in my wheels when lifted off the ground, so I ruled that out

    Light donuts? Is that removing them from the fryer too soon? Every action has a negative reaction. I guess you found it. Sorry about the truck. I am sure someone will help you find the problem
