    Hey all I'm new here. About 3 months ago on my 2012 Prerunner, I had all 3 U joints replaced, as well as the carrier bearing. Also had the drive shaft balanced...twice. This mechanic normally does good work as he did on my 2008 but he was having a tough time in the middle of moving his shop so I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
    Since then I've noticed a vibrating. Pretty sure it's not the tires. I had two of them replaced (by his suggestion) which were plugged previously. All four were balanced. The vibrating seems to happen now when I let off the gas, coasting down the highway at about 40mph the slowest speed which it happens, whereas before it was vibrating when I gassed it. Seems to be a slight jolt when I gas it again this time. Does the whole drive shaft need to be replaced? What do you guys think? Could it be a motor mount?
    Thanks

    Did this start with the work that was done to the Driveshaft?

    Are the tires you replaced the same tread pattern as the other two?
