I just did this today... It's one of the easiest and cheapest mods/fixes ever. And it worked for me, super smooth now! Thanks for all you do, Taco Bro!
Thanks for watching!
Recently bought a 2012 trd Tacoma with a leveling kit, noticing the very minor vibrations while accelerating like you mentioned. It goes away right after It shifts into 2nd. I’m hoping this cheap part will do the trick. Thank you for the awesome videos!
Oh cool I got my spacers off of toytec and they didn't come with different bolts. How much longer were the new bolts? Do you think the originals would be able to do the job with the spacers?
Where do you feel the vibration? Mine is on the gas pedal within 20-25 mph.
Thank you!
Will it remove any needle bearing wear or vibration issues ..................?
Great video! So I just upgraded to Bilstein 5100’s in the front and used them to help level out my sons 2011 Tacoma. We went with the highest ringclip setting which raised the front about 2.5”. Afterwards I noticed a very slight vibration - similar to how you describe in your video. It’s not a constant vibration and I do not notice it at higher speeds than 20-30 mph. We made no adjustment to the rear. Truck sits about perfectly level now which is great, but the vibration bugs me. Could this be the fix considering only 2.5” front lift only?
Thanks in advance!
Does the vibration go away if you switch the truck into 4hi?
@@Tacomaholic
Thanks for your quick response. Had to wait for my son to check and get back to me. Yes the vibration goes away when in 4WD
@@davidteeson9783 In that case you probably need to do the ECGS clamshell bushing swap. I show the process in this vid: ua-cam.com/video/cVMuu5qJqVM/v-deo.html
@@Tacomaholic thanks I will check that video out, appreciate your help!
On Tacoma World someone said to use a Ford Ranger polyurethane carrier bearing. It is very well made. $20 for 2 plates and some washers? As hard as it is to get the bearing off the shaft, it pays to get it right.
Hmm cool solution. Hadn't seen that one yet.
I put in a eibach lift and AAL yesterday. I did put in the cb drop. I have some minor vibes. I may try tightening everything up and look into the ECGS fix next
Did you ever find the issue
Hello Im sorry if this sounds like a dumb question will this method work on a 2019 toyota tacoma 3 inch rough country kit to cancel the vibration?
It might help out if you got the vibes immediately after lifting your truck. Definitely worth a shot since the kit is only $20.
So I just installed the spacers and greased my zerks and it did not fix my minor vibrations when accelerating. BUT I do need to mention, I also have the clunk feeling when letting of the brake at times. What could both of these issues be coming from? Thanks for the help
Is your truck lifted?
@@Tacomaholic just a leveling kit in front.
I found a different kit that has 6 shims 3 for each side. I used the emu kit and it cut my vibration in half. I have 2 inch blocks in the rear and a 2 inch lift for the front including the front differential drop kit. No leveling. I like it
Same setup. So which kit did you use?
Do I need this for my 3rd gen? I got the Eibach stage 2R lift kit with the Icon 1.5 AAL. Just saw the video on the shims you installed and just purchased it.
You can try the shims first to see if it fixes the vibe then this would be the next option.
@@Tacomaholic sounds good. mahalo!
So all you need if 1 spacer on each side ? Or does it vary on the lift size ? I heard on tundras for a 3” lift they add 3 spacers on each side for the carrier bearing drop
I'm not sure for Tundras but all the Tacoma kits I've seen only have 1 block.
the first 7 seconds of this video I was like, I've seen this star trek episode before....
Hmm I was going for Ace Ventura II. 😀

Oh yes!
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO ☘👑😂🖒
I just got a letter from Toyota to let me know about the vibration. It says to go to my local dealer to get the issue fixed. I have a 09 sr5 prerunner and it does vibrate when it changes gears. I hope they fix it but if not I will try this method. Thanks for all your videos I’ve been making small mods since I bought it back in April. Keep it up 👍🏻
Thanks for watching Jorge! That's good that Toyota reached out to you about your vibe. Is your truck lifted?
Tacomaholic Yes it is. I didn't noticed the vibration when i first bought it until about a month later. I have notice that when I put the truck in 4 wheel drive the vibration stops but still it needs to get fixed.
If you still have the vibe after Toyota does their fix you might need the ECGS bushing.
Tacomaholic if it continues I will definitely look into it. Thanks for all your videos they have helped me so much 👍
Sure thing buddy! Let me know how it goes.
New subscriber. Great videos. What’s your thoughts on lift kits. I have a 15 taco trd. I’ve looked at 6” kit but they require 18” or bigger rims. I was thinking 3” suspension and a 3” body to keep with my 16” and hopefully some 35’s. What are your thoughts. Thanks. Sean.
Thanks for the sub Sean! Tons of combos to do for lifting your truck but I'd recommend you stick with a 3" suspension lift. That should be plenty unless you are really doing some hardcore stuff. Beware of the body lifts, especially anything over 1", because your truck could slide right off of the frame in a hard accident. Have you checked out www.headstrongoffroad.com/ yet?
Is recommended for tacomas with a 2" lift? Or anything above 2" only?
It's usually a good idea if you get vibrations after lifting.
I have 2in front lift nothing on the rear, I shouldn’t worry about driveshaft problem?
Greetings! Just be on the alert for new vibrations after installing a lift. It's usually around 3" where that happens.
I only have 2 more like .175 good i don’t have to worry about vibration
Wondering if this kit is also of any benefit when the truck hasn’t been “lifted” but has a leveling kit installed ?!
A leveling kit could still qualify as a lift but usually only the front of the truck is being lifted.
Is this good for a Tacoma with a 6 inch lift ?
I just went with a tom woods custom solid drive shaft. Eliminates the carrier bearing. 👌
Sweet, how much did that run you?
@@Tacomaholic it was 600$ even for the drive shaft. It took about a week for them to make and ship it.
@@T3860ifyDubstep what lift size do you have and would you recommend?
I have a 3/2 space lift. Will this assist with lowering the vibe?
It might help slightly.
Hi.. I also have that problem with my toyota tacoma. I lifted it 6inches & i wanted to know if you may know what size spacer i would nedd for mine
I've only seen 1 size for the spacers in these kits.
How do you know if it’s the carrier bearing or if you need the ecgs bushing? Does it hurt at all to do the carrier bearing even if that’s not the issue?
If your truck immediately stops vibrating when switching to 4hi then the ECGS bushing is need. You can test this on a straight road usually going 40ish mph.
@@Tacomaholicyou can test this going 40mph down the road? I always thought it was bad to shift into 4x4 unless you was at a stop.
@@jeffroberts2279 Yes you can test this driving at 40. The owner's manual says it's safe to switch into 4wd going up to 60 or 65mph.
So I’m getting vibrations as well, around same speed, however, it occurred due to my leaf springs I recently installed.. so essentially it’s a reverse of what people normally get vibrations due to (vibrations from front lift vs rear lift, the butt of my taco was too high)
If this kit is installed per your video, do you suspect the vibrations to diminish?
It's worth a shot since it's an inexpensive part. If that doesn't work then a rear axle shim would be your next option.
Have you been able to figure out why? My pinion angle seems to be the issue… I’m being told I need to shim rear end?? Did you?
Crazy how relevant this is... I literally was browsing forums yesterday to fix my vibe. Wondering if you have any input. I have a billies installed in the front set to max height and 1.5 aal in the rear. truck sits nice and level but I’m definitely getting a strong vibration at about 20-50mph. I installed 2 washers on each side on the cb today and there didn’t seem to be any change. This is a 2014 trd sport 4x4.
Thanks for watching buddy! If you got the vibes after you lifted your truck then it probably is your driveshaft geometry causing it. However, find a straight road where the vibe replicates for you at that speed range and then put your truck into 4wd ... if the vibe goes away at that point then you need to do the ECGS bushing mod.
Just getting around to this one as I recently did a 3by 2 lift. I have the dreaded vibrating issue coming from the what it feels under the gas pedal. I have heard about the bushing fix and have also seen this “fix”. I want to bet out in front of this before it goes in too long and need help. I have a feeling the dealer ship would laugh at me now that it is modified. Would you suggest I try to hit up the shop who did the lift or just try this fix first?
Check to see if your vibe goes away by switching your truck into 4hi on a straight road at around 40 mph. If the vibe disappears when you do that then you need to do the ECGS bushing replacement.
Tacomaholic yeah it does go away after putting it into 4H. I suppose I will have to call the place who installed the lift. The bushing replacement is out of my league of DIY. I was hoping to do a cheaper fix. Have you heard anyone say how much they are spending to this bushing replacement? Thank you for your response
@@ryanmurphy694 I bet you can find some local Tacomaworld guys to help you out with that once you order the part.
Tacomaholic true thanks again for your response
My toyota dealer quotted me with 3hrs of labor and $375 out the door with parts . Im in utah though.
Is this because your lift blocks don’t have the angel on it?
I'm not running lift blocks. The driveshaft geometry changes when you lift the truck ... sometimes resulting in new vibrations.
thats winter?
I've a question if it's ok ta ask, I noticed recently with all the snow when I switch from 4 hi back to 2 wheel drive there's a popping noise that it's never made before. I did recently have the needle bearing replaced at Toyota Stealership, I tried 4 wheel drive numerous times after they replaced the needle bearing and there wasn't a popping noise switching back to 2 wheel drive. Any thoughts? And it's 2013 Trd sport 59,000 miles
Hey buddy! I'd have to see it in person to be more help but it might just be the sound made by the truck when going from 4 to 2. My truck makes a small clank noise sometimes when doing that.
Tacomaholic: Thank you my friend, that makes me feel better about the noise ☘👑🖒🍻
You should be fine as long as you aren't hearing/feeling any loud shudders or other noises.
Tacomaholic yeah no shudders or vibrations, just the noise. Thanks Brian ☘👑🖒🍻
Good vid.
What if you have the vibration without a lift. Mine is a 2012.
Hey man just wondering do you need a 16mm wrench for the nut or is it a stationary one for the carrier bracket
It's stationary.
What if your truck has vibration but no lift? 2007 Tacoma
1 or more of your tires could need balancing.
It vibrates upon pulling away at low speeds. Seems to be from the left rear. Goes away completely after driving for a short while.@@Tacomaholic
Not at one mile per hour.
@@eddievibbert6740 Your carrier bearing could be either loose or going bad.
@@Tacomaholic Thanks for the info. It only happens when I am slowly pulling away from my driveway & mostly when backing slowly as well. More obvious when turning to the left. I'll check it out. It seems as though it's a common problem on Tacoma's & I'm surprised there's no recall or bulletin from Toyota on this.
Good info as I'm about to install Bilstien's and an AAL in the next week or two. What are your thoughts on the recent info regarding the faulty U-joint replacement? I'm thinking about having the stealership replace mine prior to the AAL and Bilstien's, because the word "void" came up after I mentioned lifting it.
But with no history of lube, and only 15k on the odometer, I'm thinking about packing it full of grease and taking a chance on it? I had one shudder @ take off a few months ago, but nothing since? 4cyl 5spd 4x4.
Worth a shot to see if you can get the dealership to fix it for free. Do you have a 3rd gen?
That's my thought. They sound like it's a go? No, it's a 2nd gen, 2010.
Is the dealership fixing it under warranty then?
Yes, they are covering it. I'm very new to Tacoma's, but I've heard a ton about this driveline vibration since I've had one. It sounds like they might have found the cause. I'll attach a link to what I've seen.
Hello Mr Ventura
😀
hi budy since i had leveling 3 to 1 is vibrating a litle be, do you know if this fit to my 3 to 1,. or just 3 to 3 ? thanks
Hey buddy! If your truck started vibrating immediately after lifting it then you probably need an axle shim kit.
Hey Dude, I recently bought this 2nd gen. 07 Tacoma, it still drives smooth but when driving @ 40 miles an hour and release the gas there's vibrations I feel but when you accelerate it goes on good again. Any idea? Anyone?
Common culprits are wheels/tires out of balance or maybe brake rotors warped.
@@Tacomaholic Thanks man.
Have you had any other vibration issues since making this fix?
No mine's been running smooth. Having issues?
No, no issues yet. I've been planning on lifting my truck for over six months. Got the lift kit in this week. Got the carrier bearing spacer kit on its way (thanks to you). Just checking to see if any other issues had surfaced since you made this fix. Thanks for posting.
You never really know which (if any) vibrations you truck will get after lifting until you do it. Kinda weird that some people get them and some don't.
I bought one of these for my truck after I did my 3” rough country lift. Sadly it did not help my vibration issue. Wasn’t a bad deal for $9, but on top of the vibration issue, now I have to deal with getting new CV axles. I don’t know if anyone else has that issue.
Is your current vibe toward the front of the truck?
Tacomaholic I have a vibration from what feels like the front left tire and it’s pretty intermittent. But the driveshaft vibration for happens between 20-40 mph
The ECGS bushing might fix your issue.
Tacomaholic I will have to do some research on those. I appreciate the advice.
Sure thing man! The ECGS bushing fixes front vibes caused by lifting your truck. Replaces the needle bearing.
3 inches lift?
Yep 3" on this truck at the time.
Just received the ecgs, might have to do an appointment to the shop again. Deng I hate to hear the binding sound or vibration
It is always louder on dry pavement than dirt mud or snow.
What type of vibration. I feel it almost as feedback off the pedal
Mine felt more like just a slight vibration of the whole truck and not localized. Do you get yours at certain speeds?
I have a 2010 tacoma and I feel a slight vibration at highway speeds after I drive it awhile on the freeway, say. between 65 and 75 mph
Make sure those wheels/tires are balanced.
my 2010 has it also.. the tires are not seated perfectly on the rim causing this. no shop would know that or know how to fix it. you have to remount tires with lots of lube or wd40 on bead and tire. then inflate to seat tire.. then drain air and refill again
@@ronrambo7834 Do I need to change the air in the tires?
@@Carskinify remount tires with lots of lube on rim and tire bead... then fill with air to seat bead... then drain air again and refill to pressure.. the lube is crucial for even seating
People driving past you just assumed you were really digging the new justin bieber vibes
Bieber Fever!
What size is the lift?
I've got 3" up front and 4" in back.
Love your intros!
Lol, thanks Norman! 😀
Do u have a spacer lift or something else?
No I have a Bilstein/Old Man Emu suspension lift.
Tacomaholic could u recommend me a lift that would give me 3 inch of lift but do the least amount of damage I've been researching for months with a 600 to 700 dollar price range
Do you just want to lift the front 3" or front and back?
Tacomaholic front and back it don't have to be 3 either I'd be happy with 2.5 but id also like to keep the Rake my truck has for hauling
To stay within that budget it's doing to have to be some kind of block for the rear, but you could do adjustable Bilstein 5100s up front. Here's a link for a kit for 2005-2015 Tacomas: amzn.to/2AAMsGV
Ever find the torque specs?
27 ft/lbs for the carrier bearing bolts.
Where’d u get that thin bed pad?
Tacoma bed mat? Should be everyone's first mod! Here's a link for short bed: amzn.to/2Cn6mRO and here's a link for long bed: amzn.to/2AX1W7D
That is Ace Ventura 😂👌
Atleast all that salt helps to hide the scratches...
This is true!
i knew something wasnt right in your head man...lol
That should have been apparent from the start. 😀
Sames but w/ loctite
Or axle shims
Yep those too.
Goudentight
That's how I roll.
Is this needed for a 2 / 1 lift?
You won't really know until you lift and find out if you get the vibrations or not.
