    2007 Tacoma TRD Sport - Access Cab
    Hello all, I am a fairly new (3 week) Tacoma owner. Long story short, I was away for 6 months, came home and wanted to buy myself a new vehicle. Had very little time to make a purchase before I had to move, etc. I bought a 2007 tacoma trd sport access cab automatic truck at a dealer with 90000 miles for a good price. The truck was lifted with stock wheels and crap tires. Drove it around for the test drive and it seemed to run GREAT. well i finally get it home and after driving it around for a while, I noticed that while pulling out, the truck has a strange vibations around 10 mph and then again between 25-30. Also, while driving, if i let of the gas, then accelerate after the truck is drifting, it kind of clunks before starting to accelerate again (kind of feels like something in the driveline has to lock before it goes?) I am no mechanic by any means, so while I was away, my girl took it to a garage to have it looked over. It had the trans and diff fluid changed, among other things. Now I am driving the truck back and forth to work and everytime I get in it, I get irritated by the vibes and the clunk in driveline. I did quite a bit of research on here, even took it to a toyota dealer to ask about the TSB for it. It is of course out of warranty so i have to pay for it. I am just looking for any information on this or if any of you have been able to fix this problem. It's bothering me enough that I almost want to get rid of the truck! sorry this was so long-winded as well.

    Thanks and any info/ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Probably cause it's lifted there's some drive shaft vibes. Some people use shims. Some get a CB drop kit. Or both. Sometimes it just won't go away.
