    That has been in Toyota 4X4 manuals for decades. It's a good practice for any truck with part-time 4WD.

    I took them a video where they could hear it, and asked them to keep the truck overnight and drive the next day. They heard/felt it. Is it fixed? No, but they are working well the me.

    got a call from the corporate of Toyota about my issue on the needle bearing they want me to take it to another dealer to get it fixed but I told them its their words against mines, therefore I told them I don't trust any Toyota mechs unless they know what the issue is. uuuggghhhhh oh wells at least they called back
