Tales of the ECGS Bushing

I will do this tomorrow morning. I’ll take a video to show how much play it has to see if it’s a normal amount. I’ve read that it’s normal for it to have some play but I’m not sure what abnormal

 

To much play or slop cause the cv axle to move even 15/100th is alot of motion...

 

Super late to the party, but I’m glad you got it fixed.

It’s annoying when techs are unfamiliar with something so easy to fix, but remember, they aren’t all Toyota experts. Shoot, even a majority from the dealership don’t know all the cool aftermarket tips and tricks!

That being said, I had the exact same experience lol. Got fed up, went to an actual off road shop and they knew what it was right away. Did my ECGS last week and it’s been smooth as butter since!

 

WOW ! been chasing this problem for a year several shop appointments & dollars , no one knew or had a clue & actually thought I had a screw lose . So thankful for Tacoma World & helpful members . Not sure what this is going to cost & don't care just have to find a guy who is qualified & done these before. I'm an old timer & disabled so I have to get the wallet out or would love to tackle this myself. Another member suggested a shop I'll check out a couple hours from Spokane. Thanks all of you again ..Jerry
