ECGS Bushing to fix vibrations

I recently installed the ECGS bushing on my 2020 Tacoma with a 1.5" lift. At about 5k miles I put a lift, wheels, and Wildpeak tires. The vibrations started shortly after and it was a cyclical vibration over 40mph that was felt in the steering wheel and floor. whoosh.. whoosh.. whoosh.. It was getting loud at 15k and the dealer told me it was normal. I found the ECGS bushing on tacomaworld and ordered it.

Mechanic shops weren't interested in doing the job. So I went to do it myself. I saw some bad advice online and I wanted to summarize some comments that could help others:

1. The job can be done with the axle still attached to the hub. Remove the 2 bolts at the lower ball joint and swing the knuckle/axle assembly out of the way. The problem is that it's almost impossible to hammer the bushing in with the axle in the way. See note #4

2. Don't bother hammering at the axle to pop it loose. Just go get a big screwdriver and pry the axle out. If it doesn't work, go find a bigger screwdriver or pry bar.

3. Getting the ECGS tool inside is weird. Instructions say to tap it in with a punch, but I felt like the needle bearing would get damaged. That's because its supposed to and nobody said that. Put a piece of paper towel behind the needle bearing so damaged bits don't go inside the diff. Put the puller inside with flat side facing towards you, it will wedge at an angle inside the needle bearing, then hammer it in with a screw driver. A little force will break a part of the bearing so remember to take it out. You DONT have to grind the tool like I seen others doing.

4. I think this is the most important note. Putting the new bushing inside is very difficult to hammer the ECGS installer with all the suspension components in the way. I fought with this 1-2 hours. Their video shows them easily tapping it inside and that wasn't the case with mine. Fortunately my truck has an air compressor so I went to harbor freight and bought a $13 air hammer. This made the job SUPER easy. I'm surprised people on TacomaWorld don't advertise this every where. Trust me, go find a friend with a air compressor and get this $13 air hammer.

5. Don't forget to get differential fluid and the pump for the container. The part store showed 75-85w so that's what I put.

Good luck! It's amazing having a truck without vibrations.
