    Hello,
    my needle bearing needs to be replaced with the ECGS bushing. The vibration has been driving me insane for the last year and no mechanics know wtf I’m talking about. Anyway what I need to know is what size of bushing to order for my 2011 Tacoma. Overlandoutfitters.ca has 3 different sizes. I called Toyota and they don’t know wtf I’m talking about either. I look forward to getting some answers. Thanks in advance!

    This is fantastic thank you very much! Once I get it installed I’ll let everyone know how it went.

    If you are doing the axle too, remember flush is good.
    If you drive it too far in, you risk having a leak.

    The ECGS install tool is slight larger than the seal.
    So it acts like a “stop”. You don’t need to tool, but it makes it “easier” to get it done and get it right.


    Here are all the thread I made while doing mine.
