    Depends on your lift, but as long as it's installed right it'll be gone

    Toytec leveling kit. Spring and spacer in the front and AAL in the back. It may just be paranoia. Or tire noise. Hahahaa.

    It's usually a pulsing vibration, put it in 4wd and it should go away.

    It does, and sooner or later comes back. I have been a 20 year wrench, and don't know what I could have done to have it making the noise already, but apparently it's just the design flaw chase pointed out. Looks like I'll be ordering the bushing kit.

    Thanks for all the help.

    My truck is still under warranty, will installing ecgs bushing void it?

    Hmm, good question. If you've installed a lift and then went to the dealer with this vibration problem they might help you or might blame your lift and not help you.

    I'd have the dealer do the TSB fix that just came out if possible (for free). If they won't do it or wont do it free, install the ecgs

    Crawled under the truck yesterday to check for play in the driver's side CV at the diff and WOW. That damn thing feels like it's about to fall out. Bushing is already on order, so I am hoping it will make things feel more solid than they are right now. And I don't even my lift in yet. Matter of fact, I'm sitting a little below stock height due to added weight at the nose. This sucks. Have any of the Baja guys chimed in on this yet? Are they seeing the same problem? I think I read most of this thread and don't think there has been a definitive answer on the factory lifted trucks. Or maybe I just missed it. lol.

    I heard that the problem exist on the stock height trucks, it is just not as noticeable. As soon as people lifted their tucks, then they find out that the bearing is bad.

    Are you giving them to each person? And they are sending them back to you? If so I have a brand new puller tool and driver set. I could lend out if needed as long as it gets returned
