    Think so. Haven't gotten to drive in 2WD much yet. Crappy winter roads and all. No problems so far though.

    I am having this problem on my 2016 as of last week. Very Thankful I found this thread. I'll mention the TSB when I bring it into the dealership, but any tips for when going in? Or did you let them figure this out on their own and didn't need to push to hard?

    Thanks

    Glad to hear you 3rd Gens might get some love off this. Toyota really ought to recall their front diff. Ridiculous they haven't fixed this yet.

    They're probably doing the upgrade now, sometimes it takes a minute for the parts to be readily available...

    I got the upgraded needle bearing a week ago. Big difference. The steering wheel wobble I got after installing my Method wheels went away as soon as the needle bearing was replaced. So apparently that wobble wasn't directly related to the rim upgrade.

    Damn, it never occurred to me that this might be the cause of all the steering wobble problems the 2nd Gens had with OEM wheels...resulting in the TSB to use the Haweka adapter when balancing them.

    I had no wobble with my OEM wheels. But did immediately after mounting my Method's. And I had then road force balanced from day one.

    After front diff repair it stopped immediately though. Odd eh?

    Have we figured out what a shop would charge for this? If they would even do it... I know I could probably handle it but I don't wanna mess something up and have to tear it all apart again...

    I just bought a 2015 TRD OFF-ROAD that had 3,000 miles on it. The original buyer installed a 2" lift. I started feeling the vibration around 5,000 miles. I installed the ECGS bushing in my 2001 Tacoma and have been running it for about 50,000 miles with no issues at all. I guess I'll be putting it in my 15 soon.

    New truck under warranty. There is an official TSB to fix this now.
