Toyota Tacoma Vibrations, How to Fix This Problem
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มี.ค. 2020
- Single drive shaft replacement for those troublesome two-piece Toyota Tacoma shafts. In addition to working better at higher angles, it also reduces the amount of complexity of the drive shaft. Less moving parts means less things to fail. If you have a lifted Tacoma, you may be experiencing the typical Tacoma drive shaft shudder. This is usually felt upon takeoff or at low speeds while accelerating. If that is what you are experiencing, this video will show you how to fix this problem.

A lifelong engineer, I really appreciate the work of skilled machinists. Tom's guys are artisans.
honesty some of the best people we've worked with! high praise to everyone at Tom's 🙌
@@tacomabeast what’s the price $$$?
Seeing him put the joints in was really impressive
Ikr, I usually watch videos sped up 1.25-1.75x so I had to go check; I was surprised to see it at 1.0x
that's who I went with for my Tacoma driveshaft. My Tom Woods shaft has been problem free for a little over a year now and no vibrations.
This is probably one of my favorite intro videos. Walking through the shop while everyone is doing something came out great!
still can't believe we got it all in one take! 🔥🤙
That dudes put together a drive shaft a time or two. I’ve always had great service from Tom Woods Shafts.
Dude from Tom woods was standing there like a straight up G. Great work the truck looks sweet
Im pretty sure he was practicing for his Discovery channel TV show pan out.
Watched this video before christmas and ordered a Tom Woods replacement shaft for my 2004 Tacoma. I've got a 4" lift on my TRD and its been giving me an assload of vibrations coming from the stock driveshaft. I've already had the rear diff rebuilt because of the wear it caused, this was the only other thing left to do. So easy to do this swap, didnt need any help. Very happy with how smoothly it runs now. Ill be posting a vid of the install I did on my channel soon.
All of that vibration will cause damage to your differential or the transmission don’t let it go very long. Like get it fixed before you drive any where. It won’t take long to damage something.
If you ever get a chance, go watch your guys create these works of art. This was a pro shop, pro crew. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video, very interesting and very informative. Badass shop there Tom Woods!
I have a tom woods on my '13. Shawn is a good dude!!
Great vid!
I actually had my "Cardan-CV" axle & the driveline on my 02' 1stgen tundra replaced here TAD driveshafts. No more vibrations. Great Vid
Great video guys, really enjoyed seeing the drive shaft made.
Wow! the craftmanship! Love it.
just had to replace all my ujoints and carrier. will be ordering one of these when the time comes, given my driveshaft has seen better days and Tom's just looks like it'll be 10x better over time.
Great job well done custom drive shaft fits perfectly if and when my 2000 tacoma needs a shaft ill definitly gives those guys a call.
I went down the rabbit hole when I got my Tacoma
@@jayceforest7906 🤣🤮🖕🖕🖕🖕
I’m nearing buying mine, I’m hoping to get one in December and the more and more videos I watch the more and more I realize the rabbit hole that Tacoma’s are lmfao
When I did my engine swap on my ‘92 Toyota 4x4 extra cab did have the same problem. I did the same thing. Problem solve. Nice video 👍🏽
if your wife asks why it cost an arm and a leg this video will surely help you. LOL
Great video. Very cool to see how they build them.
Setting proper pinion angle is key to less vibration and longer u-joint life. Also. With non greasable u-joints when you pop the caps off to install. Put a blob of grease in each cap. They aren't usually greased that well from the factory. Anything to get longer service life out of your vehicle is better than things wearing and breaking down sooner because it wasn't done right the first time.
Love the brake chamber press they have.
Just bought mine today on your website. Can't wait to install it.
Your going to love it, if you have any question don’t forget we are here to help support@tacomabeast.com
I know this video is old, still like watching it. Thanks to you, I went and bought a 2022 taco! Toady 12/28/21!. Lol
Thanks for the support bro!
Just swung into Tom Woods on my way to Moab and picked up a 1pc rear!
Your video editing is on point thank you for your videos very interesting
Great video Mateo. Learned a lot bro
Wow nice work you guys . I am an old shade tree mechanic and found the demo fun to watch.Keep up the good filming , I mean 1s and 0s ing haha .
wow what a quality shop
Wow, these guys are professionals!
This is informative. I had a stock rebuilt by nw drive shafts. The did all of the joints over. Spray painted it and put their sticker on it. Not even a year later and 6k miles the carrier bearing went out. Moved so I had to take it to another place. They couldn’t figure out why they wouldn’t have replaced it when they had it apart. $950 and then another $350. Now it vibrates. Ugh. Should’ve just called these guys. Nice work
DAMn bro that sounds horrible 😞 hopefully you’ll find someone that knows what they’re doing next time 🙌
It's called buying a angle meter and doing some research. It is also called doing the correct amount of maintenance. My Tacoma has a two piece driveshaft and is lifted 3" with 300k miles on it. Zero problems. It is called phase, all angles have to work together. There is a ton of information on the web including on Tom Woods site. Before you guys jump down my throat I have been using Tom since he worked at Six States driveshaft. No one is better than him. He probably doesn't remember me but I dont care I will always use him. God Bless.
That’s a lot of names for the same thing 😂
Damm,, the son of an owner can actually do work. Unusual for these days. Good efficient work by the employees as well. Oh, good video too.
Thanks man 💪
Let's talk about and appreciate that one shot intro. Lowkey epic.
Took us a couple of tries so thanks! 😅
guys, u r the best, congrats .!!!!
Amazing American Craftsmanship WOW !!! Great Video
You guys rule your space.
Pro tip: cut the carrier bearing bracket off. That’s what I did after my toms woods shaft hit it when suspension was compressed.
Very nice of you to share:)
May i ask how much you paid for the drive shaft?
Thanks
@@mohammadvazin1949 it was around $600
Good choice on the non greaseable joints. So much stronger. Horrible idea to force that weld to cool so fast. If you need to cool a weld faster use air so you don't risk cracking.
I think I'm going to keep my 2020 off road at stock ride height just seems to be way too many problems when lifting. Too much money to
Best choice. Most trucks wont even utilize the lift when offroading. Unless your trying to push the truck to its limits.
Chump Cheddar how about bigger tires ?
@@Lexusgx550 how big of a wheel set up can you put without doing a lift and no rubbing?
@@snn517 th-cam.com/video/2IzmH2LRu6A/w-d-xo.html
They address the rubbing issue too
"your truck is kind of standard" Hurt this man's ego so much
I did hear his voice crack a lil bit afterwards 😆
@@alexdiaz8288 😂😂😂
Thanks for the video. I have had (3) new T-Taco in the past, none but one built in Mexico had this driveline vibration. I used to own Nissan Frontier too and always wondered why Toyota not use one piece driveshaft similar to Nissan which never had this aggravating vibration.
🔥🔥
My man Tom acts like he’s pissed off the whole time. No emotion but slight anger. He didn’t seem too happy 😂
Great American manufacturing! Thanks for sharing this vid
Vibration between seats=driveshaft/support bearing
Floorboards/dash=wheel bearin/cv
I figured this out 2 different different times. I have a 6in lift
Wow, impressive job.
I enjoy that type of care in industry , Great work, good service knowing what you guys are doing , Dedicated , I watched till the end , Thank you , 👍 I learned something new , my 4×4 have that shaking problem, but Im moving to U.S.A , and sell the pick up , Surely I will buy another , probably in Texas , I know now where you guys are, in case the new pick up needs your service.
🙌🙌
How's the driveshaft holding up? I'm thinking about getting one but I would like to know what you really think about it. Any vibrations?
Feel the vibration!
My question is there option for tube wall thickness? What was use on yours did not look very thick. But I will trust Tom Woods understands what works and what does not.
Just subscribed! 👌🏻; I raised mine 2”, would the 2” raised affect the D.Shaft? How much is the average cost to have it made and replaced? Tks for sharing the vid.. learned a lot 👌🏻. God bless 🙏🏻
Interesting watch for sure.
i have the same problem on my toyota. thanks for this video. I only have to spend 600 dollars. plus the installation
Do the install yourself pussy
I'm about to tack this driveshaft.
Tom was a STRAIGHT pro! He assembled those U joints like it was Nuthin!
theorientalknight my thoughts exactly. Ya could tell it weren’t his first time assembling a U-joint
I have watched alot of Toyota videos because I wanted a Tacoma. After watching these videos I have changed my mind. There is so much you have to do just to lift and have 35 inch tires. Not to mention the gear huntings, tunes , and drive shafts. Wow😮 that's a lot of money just to lift a truck. I'll pass and look at other off road vehicles.
Honestly you kinda need the same stuff for other trucks as well. The information is just not out there. Tacoma hold the most amount of support and products when it comes to customization right next to Jeep. Also, the new 20204 Tacoma does not need as much as the 3rd gen needed. You might want to look into that.
Do you have rear axle shims installed to adjust the angle of the pinion?
Have you done a after video on this I looked couldn’t find one I’m curious how it worked out for you and what it looks like installed
Excellent video. Is this the same issue that people are having with their 5th gen 4runners? I haven't experienced it with mine, but I fear the issue may come up
Awesome!!!
Hey great vid just wondering if you guys had the dealers on the ends of the drive shaft?
Interesting issue to deal with. I have a lifted gen2 4wd with no problems.
Chalk it up as "content". There are probably millions of lifted Tacoma's out there that didn't need re gearing or new drive shafts... and still shredding.
Your blessed, drive shaft issues are the worst
I keep watching vids about this and the bushings failures...
I'm now having second thoughts to lift mine 2".
😂
mine has a short vibration right before i come to a stop. it has to that. started soon after i installed an icon 10 kit
Mine is lifted about 3” , i do have a carrier bearing drop kit but iv never had any issues . Does having a single piece driveshaft affect the angles of the differential at all ? Is the single piece driveshaft recommended for a certain size lift or any lift ?
I like his answer.." Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't"....LOL
Que chingona quedó 👍😁
Gracias 👍
Looks like I need a tom woods shaft for
My FJ cruiser!
They might be able to help you with that!
I’m surprised they didn’t rebalance after welding the balancing weights. Wouldn’t that xtra little bit of welded steel change things?
So the sticker is added AFTER the balancing. Won’t that mess up the balancing? I know the sticker doesn’t weight much, but once it’s rotating at highway speed, it’s enough weight to create vibrations, no?
I have a prerunner. Is it possible for me to have this issue after lifting?
Water on hot welds is a no no can stress the weld and cause a failure. Otherwise great video
does the new shaft have the same mass as the OEM. I would think having thicker walled pipe would provide two things, a nicer cruise speed on the highway and a tougher to bend or dent off road. It may take a little energy loss off road but the highway on the way and back would make up for it.
can you biult a full set of drive shaft for my 2013 tundra limited rwd?
Would have liked to see it on the road after the install. Kinda disappointed ☹️
I like his answer.." Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't"....LOL
Really good video about the new driveline build. But not a word about the results after install? Darn.
Honestly has been great!
Just a heads up I called them the other day to order a drive shaft and they can’t make them for long bed Tacoma’s. My measurement with my 2.5 lift was 82 1/4 length and their equipment can’t make it to that length. Not to take anything away form the driveshaft itself, I’m sure it works fine but just a heads up that if you have a long bed you have to go elsewhere or just get a carrier bearing spacer and replace the carrier bearing along with making sure your pinion angle is right and the truck should drove fine.
Yo what’s up taco gang. Need some help fellas. I bought a 2021 Tacoma 6foot bed v6. I’ve taken it in twice already for my truck shaking, I thought it was a tire out of balance but the dealership has balanced the tires twice already, truck has 9k miles on it at this point. This video is very helpful and something I’ll look into. Any other recommendations that can point me in a good direction to get this fixed?
Once the weight of the shaft isn’t held by the carrier bearing, what does the added weight of a floating shaft do to the transfer case and rear diff?
Yes it does but the bearings in the transfer case and pinion can handle it. I don't have the specs for the bearings in the Tacoma specifically but generally speaking these bearings have radial load ratings in the thousands of pounds. The drive shaft only weighs 40 lbs. The purpose of the carrier bearing on the stock shaft is to support the center of the shaft to prevent it from flexing and bowing due to centrifugal force as it spins at high RPMs. That function of the carrier bearing is indeed being sacrificed with the one-piece design but the end result for most people is much better than what they experience with their stock shaft.
@@tomwoodscustomdriveshafts7159 the driveshaft I bought last year from you guys was awesome on low speeds but terrible on high speed 65+mph it vibrates like crazy i have returned it but your customer service is awesome returned it with no issues i would have loved to use your one piece drive shaft on my TRD 4x4 Sport 3rd gen truck but the oem way less vibs than yours on high speeds hope that you can figure out why me and others had that issue
I have a feeling this dude has put together a few U joints.....
Wouldnt the longer driveshaft without the centerbearing cause whip at high rpm speeds ?
What’s the difference in weight? How much does each one way?
I lifted my Tacoma 8 years ago and have gone thru 4 carrier bearings. Always in bad places they went out. I wish to god I knew about this at the beginning. How much did this cost?
Josh Reed you need a carrier bearing drop kit and pinion spacer
@@tacomabeast any recommendations for first gen Tacos? Ive got an 04 with this issue
Soooo another high point for drop bracket lifts?
How much does something like this cost I’m looking to get into a Tacoma n I’d like to lift it I know about the regear, and now this
How about shudder or rumble strip sensation when slowing down between 30-20 mph.
Is it bad to leave it vibrating ? Trying to buy a truck that does that and the guy said he’s had it doing that for 2 years
That looks better for sure but Im wondering why doesn't Toyota put a single drive shaft on the Tacomas, what is the advantage.?
What is the wall thickness on the DOM tube?
Dang y u gotta expose @hoglundoverland like that?😂
Leaves chuck in lathe 🤕 awesome work tho!
Wow, theses guy are bad ass.
Did you have to shim your rear diff?
Good video until the end. Didn’t torque spec tighten the bolts attaching to the transmission in the front and the axle assembly in the back?! Just hand tightened with wrenches? Wew…have fun with that.
Very interesting video on the driveshaft build kinda incomplete with
nothing to show after the install🤨
So it cost less than $600? And whats better i see they offer greaseable and not greaseable joints?
Wow... it’s 100% made in 🇺🇸
Good
What are the torque specs for the drive shaft where it connects to the rear diff?
I believe the spec for the 2nd gen is 65 ft/lb. Any flange with multiple bolts should be tightened evenly and in a criss-cross pattern. What he showed with the hand wrenches isn't perfect but probably good enough given the thickness of the flanges and the size of the bolts.
does it get rid of the taco shudder?
None greasable u joints are more stronger the u joints with zerk fittings
