Axel Shafts and Bearings out of Spec....

I took the Tacoma to the dealer for its 10K service, had a few issues that needed addressed.

1. 10K service.
2. A rattle in one of the seats when going over bumps.
3. Hesitation at full throttle.
4. Stuttering at low RPM around 40 mph.
5. Clunking noise from the rear end when stopping and starting out.
6. Whirring noise heard when letting off of the throttle.

They did the 10K, did the Transmission Service Bulletin, could not duplicate the seat noise,
but here is the wierd one, told me my axle shafts and bearings were out of spec and would need to be replaced, and that the parts are on order. HUH? Has anyone else had this issue?

 

A few months later now.... but I went in to get my rear suspension looked at for a clunking noise, and my steering wheel was shaking uncontrollably at highway speeds. Fixed the noise issue, but turns out that I have the same issue with you in terms of the axle shafts and bearings being out of spec. I'm scheduled to get them replaced this Friday. Was wondering if you had an update on your fix, and if its held up since then.

 

I have not had an issue since, and truly I have not noticed the clunking noise either. Maybe it was a real fix.
I Had a tech ride with me and he heard the seat rattle as well. Ended up adding a felt pad to the bottom of the headrest post to eliminate the rattle. Seems to be working.
