So after driving the new Taco all the time, took the old one to pick up the dog from the kennel. Front end howling!!! not sure if I never noticed it before or something new… Sounds like front diff or wheel bearings… Will have to diagnose and fix before winter, as I wanted to use the old Taco for the winter.
@Krezz I think so. Didn’t make a sound before the new Taco!
Research – Napa front wheel bearing and hub assembly $781 for a pair ($390 and change each).
Rock Auto wheel bearing and hub assembly $303.28 for a pair of the high quality ones, delivered to my freaking door!
Needless to say, ordered from Rock Auto…
Got the rock auto order a week early. Have to schedule installation – just got the lift in the Tundra – it looks awesome! Pics to come… Also still need to install the lift in the new Taco – that should happen this weekend.
LOL. I had Art put the lift in the Tundra, so left it there over night. Then left it in town for the alignment. It’s back now!
Put the front wheel bearings in the old girl yesterday. Took her for a test drive – nice and quiet driving now. The left side was fvcked!
Melissa put 34’s on the Tundra today! It looks sick! Pics to come…
This is turning into a Tundra build thread – here she is with the 3″ lift installed:
And with the 34’s:
This is more or less a test post to see if there are any issues with text and pictures. Got a vibration in the rear end now on the old Taco. Pretty sure it needs a U joint, so I picked one up from Partsource for like $20 with my Toyota discount. However I fear it’s the rear wheel bearings… At least they are only $87 each from Partsource and I have lots of time on my hands these days (lol).
Random poser pic.Replaced the U joint last week before going to Rays Place for winter wheeling. Got rid of the 90 kmph vibration, but after wheeling there was a 110 – 120 kmph vibration. A little different than the other one… No vibration at 130, so I drove that most of the way home and made it back in record time – under 3 hours!
Going out to separate the shaft from the 3rd member and rotate it 180 degrees. I forgot to mark it before I took it apart (d’oh!!!), so we’ll see if that clears it up. I don’t think I hit the shaft on anything wheeling….
