Wow.... had I known this 3 months ago I would've never sold my 2022 Toyota 4Runner. Ultimately, the noise was driving me crazy as well as the steering wheel shimmy I would experience. I only had about 5700 miles on before selling. I bought my truck new with 3 miles on it.... I've taken my 4Runner to the dealership multiple times for a noise that I would hear on the driver side. It was driving me crazy. Nobody at the dealership could figure out the problem and no one could hear what I was hearing and feeling and they would just say that the truck drives like it supposed to. It upsets me that it's a known issue that Toyota hasn't addressed. Well according to a forum I just recently came across today this is a known issue.... this video just confirms it too for me... sigh
@lucasr5675 hell no... come on man you don't know about dealerships? I've had the same issue. They deny everything. "Everything seems fine." As if they shouldn't know about this and remedy it for anyone experiencing this issue. Idk who I hate more, dealership employees or criminals.
Had the vibrations, checked play on CV and it was Outrageously loose. Performed this ECGS bushing fix and vibration is gone. If you are doing CVs as well, and don't have a core charge, cut the tail end off one, remove the retaining ring, and use as a bushing install tool. Aligns it perfectly.👍
Spot on. Around 20-30 mph you get a vibration felt in steering wheel and floor joes and a slight growling noise. It goes away in 4wd. ECGS is great, they will sell you the kit including new bushing, seal, bearing puller and install tool. Took me about 3 hours start to finish. No loose CV axle, no problems now. 2016 TRD sport 4wd.
Super video, you guys always do such a "wanderfull" explanation with detail steps for us slow people that are trying to be like you all. Thanks again for sharing and posting this.
Great Video! Replaced the needle bearing with a Bushing, BUT..... I believe we used a cheaper Bushing and its shot now. Axle loose and a lot of Vibration while driving. This time we wisened up and got the correct fitting one like you had installed from East Coast Gear Supply. Should be have a tighter tolerance, we hope. Many said, dont get the cheaper ones. Get the East Coast Gear Supply. Hoping their removal tool, we also got is a little smaller than the one we had before. Cant get the special piece to go inside past this busing we have in it....Tried everything! Thanks again for a great Video !!! Helped a ton, since its been awhile since we replaced the stock needle bearings. We also say "Numb Nutz" here in Idaho !!!
Yes, beware of the cheap Chinese fakes. There's one being sold on Amazon that's even using a screenshot of our video in their advertising, illegally of course.
Excellent video! I have almost 60,000 miles on my 2020 4Runner with a 2.5" Dobinson lift, so I'm developing a little shake. I'm going to replace my needle bearing as well before it gets worse, and this video shows just how easy it really is. Purchasing the tools from ECGS is probably a good idea to make things go easier, and is alot less expensive than paying someone to do the service for you. Again, great video. Thanks!
As an added backup, why not wrap a piece of safety wire around that plate when you insert it into the diff? If you offset the plate on the outside , it might give you better visibility of the plate on the inside to ensure you have proper alignment. Other option for freezing is to use a can of CRC Freeze Spray. It cools to -60. I don't know if that cold runs the risk of fracture due to it being brittle though. I installed some bearings before and chilled them down with a can of computer duster tipped upside down. That helped quite a bit.
I appreciate the video. Just ran out and checked my drivers side cv. Definitely a lot of play. Apparently the needle bearing is part of the issue. Meaning it should have tighter tolerance or use this bushing for ECGS. But! If you watch the video on ECGS you’ll see that the front diff internal bearing seat machining is the real issue. There is a lot of play there unlike the Yukon Gears housing he shows in the video. Seems like the bushing helps but ultimately the machining of the housing and bearing fitment is an issue that Toyota could have recalled along with better needle bearing or bushing instead and dropped an overall improved variation! Maybe best option is to go with an aftermarket front diff with locker then the runner will be fully locked and loaded.
Just didn’t this today and thanks for the awesome video this was honestly the best and most helpful videos I found really liked that you got a good camera angle and light up close to see what’s going on and showing us what to do
Nice work and also when u place the tool in thread it on already then slide it in same way at an angle no worries if losing or using a magnet just a tip
Thank you for this!! I've been fighting a shimmy and slow "whirring" noise from front that goes immediately away when you put in 4-hi and really hopes it's this part. Stupid question here. Is there a passenger side needle bearing too or only driver side? Ordering it now.
Great video as always but I am a little concerned about a bushing being better than a needle bearing? I would think less resistance to movement with needle bearing? Always appreciate your how to vids and this one is excellent as always. Thanks again.
Wondering if this is the cause of my driveline vibrations. No leaks from anything but a front end vibration that feels like I'm going over a cattle grid, happens loaded or unloaded, in h4 or h2, at specific speed (45, 65 and 85mph). When my lbj failed I noticed the inner CV had outrageous play.
Thanks for excellent video. My cv axle is loose but I have no noise or vibrations on 2012 4runner with 237000 km. No lift either but I will keep a close eye on it. I had some shaking in cold Canadian winter but previous owner neglected driveshaft lubrication. I lubricated all points and pushed out old grease, afterwards it was fine. Some claim you can cause damage by overgreasing, I didnt see that.
yes yes. i got this issue on my 2010 tacoma. i got the steering wheel shake on bumps. steering shaft has no clunk and frond end tight. i happen to hit the axel and saw it move like that. i will replace and hope everything goes well. thanks for the confirmation.
Just want to say thank you for this video, im getting ready to do this to my 17 tacoma tomorrow and this explained everything very well and left me with no questions 👍
Good video thanks for posting. I’m wondering why couldn’t you drill a small hole 🕳 in the part of the tool that goes on the inside and put a string or a wire on it so you couldn’t loose it into the diff. The rag is a good idea also but it could be forgotten in there. 😩. But thanks again for the info I have a 2002 Tacoma that might need this done sometime.
Have to be careful because that driver side is a little sloppy even after you do the bush swap. I had all the symptoms, did the swap, didn’t fix the symptoms. Turned out to be a the passenger side front wheel bearing. I had checked that bearing and would have sworn it was good, no play at all. Mechanic wasn’t sure either but he said if he had to guess it was that pac side bearing. Changed it, yep that was it.
How bout on a 2016 Highlander AWD? Seems like the same issue I am seeing. Toyota said I had a transaxle bearing causing the wobble on the driver CV axle and then advised I take it to a transmission shop for diagnosis and repair.
What is the difference between a bushing and a bearing? It seems like an axle rotating inside a bushing word grind metal on metal and be a bad idea. Why doesn't the driver side have the same ball bearing (as I understand it) as the driver side ?
I just bought a 99 taco and the previous owner has the driveshaft out with these issues but my taco has manual hubs. For some reason my manual hub differentials dont work with this bushing.
Interesting, thanks for the vid. My cv has a little play but its never affected driving. Thats a handy trick with the rag. Also you mentioned the spider gear but I think that's in fact the *side gear*. The spider gears are the ones on the cross pin doing somersaults while you're driving :)
This is a great instructional video! I bought all the stuff and starting pulling mine apart. It’s a 2011 4Runner Limited. But when I pulled the CV axle out, there is no needle bearing in the housing. It’s a bushing with a larger OD than the ECGS bushing. I can’t find that part number anywhere! Any ideas?
This is probably a stupid but do you only replace one side? My 21’ Tacoma is pulling to the passenger side and I’m thinking I need an alignment could this be the issue? I have a 3’ lift by the way. Thank you for the detailed video .
Is it common to only need to replace the driver side bearing or do you do both sides? If both sides, are there the same size bushing and oil seal? Thank you. Very good video
You could thread the rod onto the the rectangular puller nut and use it as a handle to install the nut. easier than trying to thread it while it is sitting loose in the hole and reduces the potential of dropping it into the gear box.
2:55 ... where do you get this hook for the sliderhammer? does it come with the autotool loaners at the various autoparts stores? it looks so much easier to remove the CV than trying some big brass punch and hammer from directly underneath the vehicle
I have the same problem. Would this same bushing fit on both sides? Driver and passenger side? Or will I have to find one made specifically for the passenger side too?
What is the diameter of this bearing? I don’t like the way this tool works. A rear axle bearing tool would be better because it folds to allow you to get it behind the bearing but doesn’t risk dropping anything into the diff
do you have to do this in the passenger side as well ? or only driver side , i check mine and both are lose, or does it have to have little play on them ?
Dumb question to ask. Have a 4th gen 4runner but shouls be the same application. But Once I replaced the the new bushing I still have the shake even replaced multiple types ov CVs but still have the shake. Do you have any recommendations on what should I do?
Good to know. The seasoned mechanic in me says the needle bearing would be better and last longer since the axle is constantly spinning. Obvious engineering says otherwise. How many miles do you have on that original bearing? I also wonder if time spent in 4WD has an effect on the needle bearing life.
My needle bearing failed twice... my 4runner is completely stock.. had the carrier replaced the first time, them it failed again, I just got the bushing installed, solved all problems
Quality vid instruction and lens focus. How’s the bush now it’s been in a while and is there advantages or problems the bush may cause in the future over a standard needle bearing replacement?
What if for some reason this new sleeve/bearing goes bad? How would you take it out? Seams wider and the tool would be difficult to put inside to extract that bearing.
Hi . I have toyota rav4 1997 is the same problem .i went to Toyota dealer .They said discontinue the part. Can you tell me where i can get the part . Please
I am curious why not just use another needle bearing set up. Bushings do work and I have in the past replaced roller bearings with custom made brass bushings but I would stay away from something that is this critical with such a mod. Toyota engineers are not stupid and so there is a hint of greater longevity with needle bearings vs a bushing with bronze coating. I have a 7 year old Tacoma TRD off road with 297,600+ miles on it and I have not yet had an issue with the bearings. I am honestly curious and I am not being critical, just asking. I have worked on high performance aircraft for over 30 years and you tend to find that things are the way they are for a reason.
Could this part be the solution my problem? So when I’m in 2h there is a slight shake in the wheel. And my wheel alignment is slightly off. Lmk my truck is a 2021 Toyota 4Runner venture.
Just discovered after watching you that I have the same movement in my axle on my 2008 FJ.. What was your source for your replacement axle.. Probably will change out mine on that side while I am in there..along with the bushing which I just ordered.. Thanks
I did this and it didnt solve the issue. I moved the tires while the vehicle was in the air. No movement so I thought there was no way it was a wheel bearing. I had the bushing installed and it still has the awful wobble sound. Any ideas?
Very high quality instruction! Definitely made it much less dreadful for most people.
Glad you liked it!
This video makes this repair/ upgrade look so easy; this is by far the best instructional video on TH-cam. Thanks for another great video!

Hi there, did the ECGS bushing fit on your 2020 Toyota 4Runner?
Thank you.
@@vilojrrobert9323I actually haven’t done the job yet, but I’m sure it will fit. Not worried about they at all.
Great view of the extraction and installation of the bearing. Thnx!

Hi. Does this make a bit of a ticking noise when the wheel turns? Thanks to anyone who reads and responds.

Thanx for the step by step! I followed your video and completed this on the wifes 2007 4runner this past weekend! Worked like a champ!
Glad it helped
Thank you. Now im gonna buy that needle bearing, measure it, and have my machinist do a little project 😊
There goes the ABS CABLE. Most people won't know about it by the time they moved the spindle away to pull the CV.
Unplug it?
Great video! Probably the best I've seen yet to DIY with confidence.
Thanks 👍
Awesome. Adding this to my list of things to check on our recently acquired 2014 FJ. Your videos are a great help.
Great to hear!

Have you tried putting in 4Hi in a straight line while doing 55-60.? If the vibration goes away then that’s deff the issue
I put this in my 2006 tacoma 10 years ago, their was a recall they just replace da bearing, the bush fixed the problem, its a tri metal bushing.

Great job. Great video. A buddy did this on my Tacoma at 19k miles. The amount of play in the Toyota bearing is ridiculous, bad on Toyota
Thanks I have the same problem with my truck and I couldn't find anybody that explains like you did Thanks

The right side is more of a ball bearing. It never seems to have an issue like the left side.
You could thread the rod onto the the rectangular puller nut and use it as a handle to install the nut. easier than trying to thread it while it is sitting loose in the hole and reduces the potential of dropping it into the gear box.
How are you going to do that if the “puller nut” has a larger diameter than the hole you’re trying to put it through?
2:55 ... where do you get this hook for the sliderhammer? does it come with the autotool loaners at the various autoparts stores? it looks so much easier to remove the CV than trying some big brass punch and hammer from directly underneath the vehicle
It came with ours, so it would probably be available with the loaners.
I have a toyota tacoma 2009 whit the same problem in both sides driver and passenger do u think that I can install te ecgs bushing in both sides ?
The passenger side is supported buy a bearing that is also serviceable.
I have the same problem. Would this same bushing fit on both sides? Driver and passenger side? Or will I have to find one made specifically for the passenger side too?
@@EvanDoesBigThings each side is different. Driver side has needle bearing, passenger side has ball bearing
As for installing a new seal, can you show that install as well??
So my 2016 limited model doesnt need this fix ? It says the part will not fit AWD 4runner. 🤷♂️
Take a look at the end of your screwdriver when you adjusted the removal tool.
Tundra's have this problem too, if you do any type of lift. This is on my to do list next year for my 2010 Tundra
This closest word for my first GEN four runner. Thank you very much.
What is the diameter of this bearing? I don’t like the way this tool works. A rear axle bearing tool would be better because it folds to allow you to get it behind the bearing but doesn’t risk dropping anything into the diff
Another great instructional video from wanderlost overland! Thank you

do you have to do this in the passenger side as well ? or only driver side , i check mine and both are lose, or does it have to have little play on them ?
Only the driver's side has this problem.
Dumb question to ask. Have a 4th gen 4runner but shouls be the same application. But Once I replaced the the new bushing I still have the shake even replaced multiple types ov CVs but still have the shake. Do you have any recommendations on what should I do?
Good to know. The seasoned mechanic in me says the needle bearing would be better and last longer since the axle is constantly spinning. Obvious engineering says otherwise.
How many miles do you have on that original bearing? I also wonder if time spent in 4WD has an effect on the needle bearing life.
The lift is what destroys the needle bearing from what I’ve seen. At stock height they can last a very long time
@@Tarecgos That makes sense. More angle, more load. Just like CV's and U-joints get more stress and wear with greater angle.
My needle bearing failed twice... my 4runner is completely stock.. had the carrier replaced the first time, them it failed again, I just got the bushing installed, solved all problems
@ 0:53 seconds into the video... Is this diagnoses with or without the T4R raised/jacked up? Thanks!
weight on the wheels.
@@WanderlostOverland Thank you! 🙏
Thanks for the video! I'm assuming I'll need another alignment after this?
Not necessarily. If you didn't move the toe-rod end on the threaded rod you may be fine.
I need a tool just like this that takes out different size needle bearings. I'm amazed how fast that comes out. I was looking for something like this.
I have a brand new tool I am using I’d be willing to ship it to you for 40 bucks
Quality vid instruction and lens focus.
How’s the bush now it’s been in a while and is there advantages or problems the bush may cause in the future over a standard needle bearing replacement?
Yeah, I’m going to pretty much expect that this will have to be done. Great video, but I’m never doing this alone.
You can do it!

How do I know the size of diff on my 2012 Tacoma so I get the correct size tools
Just discovered after watching you that I have the same movement in my axle on my 2008 FJ..
What was your source for your replacement axle.. Probably will change out mine on that side while I am in there..along with the bushing which I just ordered..
Thanks
Hi. Thanks for the tutorial. Is this modification in the driver side or passenger side? Thanks
This is a driver side mod. The passenger side is a different bearing. Ring bearing I believe, not a needle bearing.
@ 05:12 what's the grit stuck on the screwdriver?
Remnants of the person who was in charge of sweeping the floor. LOL
I did this and it didnt solve the issue. I moved the tires while the vehicle was in the air. No movement so I thought there was no way it was a wheel bearing. I had the bushing installed and it still has the awful wobble sound. Any ideas?
I get a grinding noise when I let off the gas
What if it only shakes when you break 2004 tacoma
I believe this is the same issue I’m having with my 5th gen but will this kit work on a 4x4 5th gen 4Runner?
Hey mate any ideas ive just done my bush replacement and a new axle sharft and it still has play
Any chance you have footage of properly sitting the seal? My CV axle keeps popping out after I did this install. Unsure why
Why do you replace it with a bushing instead of another needle bearing?
A needle bearing in the left side of the diff is just a bad design by Toyota. A bushing will actually last longer there.
Would this issue be more noticeable when putting all terrain tires given the fact that they are slightly heavier than oem .?
Probably
good day . when you check the bearing you just remove the tire currcet ?
Is it always on the driver side of the cv axle? Great video by the way.
Yes, the passenger side uses a ball bearing.
There's any diferente in 2nd gen and 1st gen needle bearing?
🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏
What's the longevity of the bushing vs the needle bearing? Is there and downside to the bushing?
Great job and video ⭐⭐⭐

They claim it's a "lifetime" replacement. I figure it has to last at least a bit longer than the badly designed needle bearing.
I have the opposite I have no shutter or shaking until I put it into 4hi then in the front I get shaking at 30-40 mph
How does the bushing stay lubricated? About to order the kit. Many thanks!
Most freezers will freeze something that small in a matter of hours not days so no need to wait too long.
So I’ve installed this and once again have the same symptoms of a failed needle bearing including shaking and groaning noise.
Check the carrier bearing play on the drive shaft that goes to rear differential. That can cause vibration when you hit a bump if it is worn.
@@ramrod175 unfortunately on 5th Gen 4Runners they don’t have a carrier bearing. My Tacoma has one though.
