    Hello! My 2004 Tacoma with 6 " fabtech lift keeps overheated drivers side bearings... pretty much considered unsafe and unusable. After the fact I just had replaced bearings 500 miles ago. Any advice sure would help.

    Please change the name of your thread. Calls for "help" are reserved for times where a member needs actual and immediate help. Examples are being stranded off road with an immobile truck. Miles from food or water or shelter.
    A good alternative would be "help with overheating bearings"

    Also, starting two threads on the matter will not get you answers any faster.

    Are you properly torquing the axle nut or just zipping it on full blast with a gun?
