    Good day to all I live in the mountains of Colorado and similar to more use with brakes I am wondering if this sounds to you all like wheel bearings? Quick truck break down I have a 2014 Tacoma with 4in lift on 33's with total chaos upgrade lower and upper control arms, think that's all that needs to be said for the most part while asking this question. Problem, not terrible but recently while driving around 60mph or higher and mostly on bigger type bends/curves in the road I feel a slight vibration. As best I can tell it feels like its coming from the front, my thoughts are the wheel bearings have gone somewhat bad......any comments/ideas? Also if you more smarter individuals agree any suggestions on brand for replacements?

    Thanks for your help Tacoma Friends!

    Rotate your tires and see if the vibration moves.

    Vibe can be any number of things. Do you feel it in the body or through the steering rack? Is there any audible noise? Does it only occur at high speed? I'd say without seeing it that wheel bearings could be an issue, but those typically have an audible grinding noise when they go bad. If it's more of a clunking, it's likely suspension related. If it doesn't happen at slower speeds around corners, than it's likely not the rack or tie rods either. My guess with that little bit of input and without feeling the car is that you have a bad rotor or your wheels are out of balance.

    I'd agree with Bill, rotate your tires and inspect your rotors. If that doesn't do it, maybe post a video of the symptoms or get an NVH assessment done by the dealer.
