    Hey all!,
    I'm new to the site with a new to me 96 tacoma 4x4. I bought it as a fixer-upper and it's definitely going to need A LOT of fixing upping... It runs like a top though! I'm decent with mechanicing, but this is my first time working on anything smaller than a Dodge 2500.. Anyway, I drove the little guy tonight for the first real time and it has a grinding/vibration noise coming from the front end. I can't tell if it's a CV joint, wheel bearing, or something else. What are some common issues with the drivetrain in these things that could cause this??
    Thanks in advance!
    Patrick
