This definitely sounds like the same issue I am experiencing. As evidenced by the posts on tacomaworld and my experience, even if Toyota replaces the diff and cv, the sound may return. It does seem like the bushing is the fix with the most success, I have only hesitated since my 4Runner has such...

If I were out of warranty I'd be willing to do the bushing fix. But I'm also concerned about the longevity of that bushing. And if the issue is too much clearance between the bearing ID and shaft OD, if the shaft is the problem because its undersized, I can't see the bushing fixing the issue. If...

This all sounds very much like what I have been dealing with. I had my front diff replaced at 13,000 miles due to a rotational noise between 20-40 MPH when the temps were below 40 deg F. Apparently it is very common in the Tacomas and Tundras, and less so for the 4Runners and FJ's. It seems as...

I had BFG All-Terrain KO's, load range C, on my Z71. Installed at 65k miles, and I would say there was still 20-30% life remaining when I traded my truck for my T4R at 136k. Loved those tires, can't wait to replace the stock Bridgestones on my 4Runner with BFG's. I never had an issue with the...

I'm sure others will chime in, but I generally look in two places - Carmax and eBay. For eBay I search the completed listings to see what actually sold and for how much. That will tell you if you're in the ballpark on price.

No mods, bone stock.

Been lurking here and decided to sign up to share an issue on my '13. I had a grinding noise and vibration that appeared mostly between 20-40 mph in 2WD only. It was worse in <40 degree temps, and was getting louder by the day. After a frustrating experience with my local Toyota dealership, I...
