    Hey man, you'll probably find out soon if this fix was provided for you or not; it's an unmistakable vibe.

    Hey man, was it a factory lift? The warranty covers up to a 3" lift

    Would I be able to move the axle around if it needs to be replaced?

    It's hard to say if a warranty will be honored with a non-dealership lift

    Probably depends on the dealership, although a lift would give them an easy reason to not cover this one. From what I've read the ECGS bushing is a better fix anyhow.

    You checked in a regional thread? Maybe they have mod days once in a while.

    Can somebody describe the vibe on a new truck with no lift? I have a very slight annoying vibration that I feel from around 40 to 65. Intermittent though, seems to be affected by changes in weight distribution of the tryck

    I had the TSB done over a month ago, still no vibes!:thumbsup:
    All you people commenting on Toyota installing the same bearing, dead wrong, someone looked into it, different part, tighter tolerance!
    If you have the vibe, you're under warranty, do the tsb, it works, and at the least, you're building warranty documentation, which is in your favor if the problem persists...

    Does it feel like a rotational vibe? Put it in 4h and see it if goes away.

    This is what I did. I bought and supplied the ECGS bearing and my dealer installed it in my truck at their expense.

    I'm at 50,000 miles now on the ECGS Bushing with a 3" lift. No issues.

    That's the same problem I have. It used to go away in 4h, but now it persists in 2h and 4h.
