Front End Vibration After Lift

I recently purchased a 2002 double cab 4x4. After transferring my Toytec lift from my 2002 extra cab (this truck had no issues with the lift installed) to my double cab, I immediately started to get a vibration that can be heard/felt at speeds of 30-50mph in 2WD (the double cab ran fine before the lift was installed).

Once I go into 4hi the vibration immediately goes away. I've tried rotating tires and swapping to "known-good" axles and the vibe is still there...no changes in sound or feel.

After a ton of researching, all symptoms point to a bad cv axle needle bearing. So, I'm planning on purchasing a replacement bushing from ECGS (along with the removal/installation tool):

My question is, does anyone have first hand experience with this? If so, any tips/tricks/advice before I start on this job? Seems pretty straight forward, but any help is appreciated.

Found this vid on youtube...seems like there's a lot less info in regards to this bearing and 1st gens, 2nd gens on the otherhand...

Check out this thread. Lots of good experiences in there.

Thanks for the link!

 

Success!!! Vibration is gone. Truck is running nice and smooth again. Thanks to @Speed Freek for getting the job done quick and easy.

 

No problem glad I could help! I bet that was getting annoying.

 

It was so annoying, to the point where I thought I just bought a bad truck. I mean I didn't have any of these issues with my white truck.

After the fix, new steering rack bushings and an alignment, the truck is nice and tight again.
