    Kind of feels like your driving over the bumps on the side of the road. Pulsating like that as well. If that makes sense. Not as strong though.

    I've heard that it's all over the country, that they have 2 other lots elsewhere just like it. I've also heard that they haven't decided what they are gonna do with them, but will probably just sell them used in another country that doesn't care about the emissions scandal as much. (Mexico?)

    All of that is hearsay tho, I don't know anything official as I am not a VW person.

    Burnouts still count as wheel spin/contribution to mileage, correct?

    The vibes you're feeling are similar to the ones I had before I did the needle bearing replacement. I never felt them all the way up to 50 though, only from 15-25 mph and they went away when 4WD was engaged.

    I don't do burnouts on purpose ever since I got my new tires. My wallet screams every time I get wheel spin... don't want to have to go out and buy thousand dollar tires anytime soon

    Everything you're describing sounds like what I experienced with the needle bearing as well.
    Replaced it with ecgs bushing. Problem solved.

    Is the front diff on the 2nd gen Tacoma the same as the front on a 1st gen Tundra?
    I have that same vibe. :anonymous: Been in denial about it too.

    Did you add tires at the same time? The ECGS bushing is mainly a cure for a groaning/vibration between 15-30mph that is felt more when the diff is cooler.

    How high did you set your lift?

    Don't tell your wife, but your girlfriend disagrees. ;)

    Cool, so there is no problem. Must be the same as the much superior 1st gen Tacoma.
