    New here , I got a problem with my 2009 taco , crew cab 4x4 , when I start driving , I get a 2-3 sec vibration when acceleration , this 2-3 sec vibration varies from 20mph - 50mph , what can it be? Maybe something to do with my center bearing?

    Is it a stock suspension?

    Welcome, looks slightly lifted up front. Probably would be good to check and see if the noise goes away when in 4wd. If so, it's likely the needle bearing in your front diff. If that doesnt happen, i'd start by pulling the rear driveshaft and check each individual u-joint for play while you've got it on the bench. Good luck!

    Idk, looks like it might have a leveling kit. Driveshaft carrier bearing is my guess.

    Basss:i noticed that , thought it might be lifted front but wasn’t sure , thought it was stock height . There’s no noise at all , the truck just vibrates for 2-3 seconds from 30mph to 50mph it varies , when in highway it rides amazing ,

    DG : Driveshaft carrier bearing has a little bit of play , not much but a little , can it be that making the truck shake for 2-3 sec from 20-50mph ? When I let the gas goes away .

    Probably driveline vibrations then if that’s the case. A little play in the carrier bearing (~1/4”) is normal.

    here’s some good info on how to take care of those

    Mine has a 2” lift. Needed to install a shim in the carrier bearing.
    Low range off road as I recall

    I never really knew the kit came with a spacer

    I just installed it. They said it is necessary
