    its not crazy considering there have been MANY of us that have swapped in the bushing to solve vibe issues... also toyota has a TSB regarding the needle bearing.

    If they dont know what you are talking about walk away from that mechanic.

    Ok so I'm going through with the ECGS clamshell bushing. I'm not sure which side needs it. Is there one of these on each side that could possibly be bad or just 1?

    Why if I drice it does it seem that the noise goes away after 15 min of driving. Does the bushing heat up and expand. Idk. Is it normal?

    i have been reading this thread, so i just installed a complete OME 2" lift kit on 2005 tacoma, with CB drop kit installed , got my front end aligned.
    I also noticed a bit of vibrations at low speed (20-40mph)
    Will I need to replaced ECGS bearing too or can i add another spacer to the CB, will this solve my vibration issue?
