    Well I have developed the dreaded needle bearing vibes. I have known about the ECGS bushing for quite some time but haven’t had the vibes bad enough to warrant replacing the bearing. Does anyone know of any reputable shops/Techs that can be trusted to install the clamshell bushing? It’s a hair above my mechanical ability. 4WP (who installed lift 6 months ago) claims they don’t feel anything. Toyota of Clovis said they felt it but would not work on it because I changed suspension. I’m located in Fresno California. Appreciate any help or recommendations you can provide.

    Vibes pulsate, go away in 4hi and happened after lifting 3 inches. Noticeably worse after the truck sits cold for a few hours. But it does seem to go away or become much less noticeable after about 6 miles of continuous driving.

    thanks for reading.

    Don’t have Facebook anymore. But thanks for the lead. I’ll see about getting in touch with someone in the group.
