    I have a roar in my frontend of a 2007 Tacoma. It does quite down when I engage it in 4wd. I purchased the ECGS bushing and plan on installing it this weekend if weather permits along with a axle on the drivers front. I have already purchased two front bearing kits from bamaboy. With 194,000 miles on the truck and I have no idea if the bearing have ever been changed and I highly doubt it. Would you guys change the bearings while your in there? By swerving right and left the truck has no change so really don't have a clue if bearings or bad or not. There is no slack when I jack them up off the ground but with almost 200,000 you would think they are getting close. Thanks Rick

    my front wheel bearing didn't change much when swerving until after a few months and no change in 4wd

    it might be wheel bearings too or just the ECGS will fix it
