    I'm hoping to get some ideas on what could be causing a slight front end vibration while driving at lower speeds. Once up to around 55 it seems to balance out. I'm thinking it may be a tie-rod end but haven't gotten under to check it out yet. I just picked up the truck in June and its my first Tacoma. Just looking for some advice on where to check out before tearing in. Thanks for the help!

    Could very well be a tire in need of balancing. Try rotating tires and see if the vibration changes or goes away.

    I've been through almost everything to solve this issue. Check your tie-rods and wheel bearings. If you have aftermarket wheels check the hub bore hole size, if larger than 106mm get some hub centric rings.

    Great suggestions! I'll try rotating them tomorrow and see if that helps at all, and while it is jacked up I'll check out the tie rods. The wheels are stock and have honestly seen some better days. Maybe an upgrade is in order! Thanks guys! I'll keep you posted.
