Help new and Shaking

[phili]

Hi my fellow 4runner lovers, I recently bought my first 4runner and now I'm love with it but car is shaking now on deceleration no brakes apply, steering wheel no movement, in neutral car still shakes, and when putting the car from park to reverse or drive makes a clunk in the back somewhere. This is happening on speeds 25+ new tires and new brakes. My main concern is about the shaking. Thank you again my fellow 4Runners !!!

Hi yes the u joints was the problem but i'm having trouble taking out the drive shaft out of the transmission ... been reading the post and they all say it should slide right out but i'm having trouble.. any help pls reason for taking out drive shaft is to get it check and balance

Take the bolts off where it bolts into the transfer case, use some pb blaster of some sort and a pry bar. It's not like it's welded on there.

I've looked all around it and I didn't see any bolts it's a toyota 99 4runner

I'm just frustrated no bolts around where it goes into the transfer case

You didn't specify if you are 2wd or 4wd.

follow the link for 2wd drive shaft removal:

It should not come OUT of, but come OFF of. Just undo the 4 bolts that hold the U joint on to the round plate at the back of the transfer case.
