Drive shaft ?'s

[Tobi-Wan]

alright, so I recently put some new explore pro comp 4" lift springs in the rear of my '87. And the rear went from being 1.5" below the front to about 1.5" above the front, so it went up about 3". I also had two new tires put on the rear, b/c two of my other tires had lugs starting to peel back, probably from Tellico after the two new tires and the new lift springs, I am now experiencing some wobble while at high speeds. I am wondering if that 3" difference is enough to affect my rear drive shaft angle? Does anyone have any info to offer? Thanks!

yeah, so i found out why the 4runner was so wobbly. I was out this past weekend with some of my buddies. We are making some offroad trails out behind my friends shop. ton's-o-fun. but anyway, I looked down at my rear driver side tire, and there were only 2 lugnuts on it. Turns out the Tire Plus that I bought my tires from, when they replace the two in the rear, they didn't torque down, or even tighten the lugnuts. Needless to say I was very pissed. Imagine a rear tire coming OFF the 4runner, at 65 mph, a couple feet off the ground. I don't like to think about it.

To answer your original question, a 3" suspension lift could cause some vibes, but usually it takes more than 3" on the rear of a Toyota to do it.

Missing lug nuts, yeah that could make it wobble:awais:
