    hey ya'll I'm new to Tacoma world and I have a few questions about my 2009 Toyota Tacoma. I have been having a vibration issue that started with my carrier bearing on my split driveshaft being crappy, so I replaced it and needless to say I had to replace it again a year later. Are there any "bulletproof" carrier bearings I guess you can say out there? now to the next question, I replaced my cv axles because they were shit too. with all this said and done I still have a minor vibration I couldn't figure out to save my life. well last week I think I solved my problem.....I went to put it in 4x4 to pull a friend out and started moving forward and heard a pop (sounded like 4x4 engaged to me or so I thought) went to put a snatch on my friends vehicle and heard a loud and continuous clack, clack, clack sound. I stopped and got out to inspect and MY WHOLE FRONT DIFF WAS SITTING ON MY SKID PLATE WTF) The bushings on the arms of the diff were gone! I'm so glad it happened this way and not going down the interstate at 80 MPH. has anyone ever ran across this problem and if so what replacement parts did you use? thank guys and have a great day!
