    I have an 08 Tacoma and I feel almost of a knocking under my feet when I'm driving above 35 mph and also when I turned to park I was turning right and it seemed as if my truck skipped a little. When I'm driving though every so often it clicks or knocks no idea what the problem maybe. I did post this on the Facebook page and someone said it maybe a CV joint was wondering if anyone has had the same problem?

    Look to see if the boot is torn. Dirt and crud can get in there and cause it to fail. Also would likely hear clicking when cornering. Not sure I understand what you mean by 'skipping'

    It almost seemed like it shifted the whole truck to the left kind of and this wasn't happening until after I went to help a buddy out that was stuck and pulled him out of the mud.

    enough to go over stuff
    Is there mud built up inside the rim or on your truck. That can often cause vibes. Check your CV boots. And check the axles for play.
