Vibration after lift

[Shack]

I have a 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport, I am getting ready to do the left front differential needle bearing to ECGS bushIng. Why don’t I have to do the right side? Is it a different style bearing that does not require this bushing kit?

Do you drive solo most often with no passenger weight on that side maybe?

Yes most of the time solo,I’ll have to see if it changes with passenger.

Maybe that explains partly why the driver side wore out faster than passenger? It’s also where the battery is, and depending on the model if you don’t have the break booster there on the passenger side between you, battery, and then nothing on the other side, there’s a good few hundred pounds difference riding on that front left corner? Just an idea? Also could’ve maybe taken some potholes or bumps on that side at some point? Just spitballing here lol

Below is from their site. Driver's side needle bearing, passenger ball bearing. So different angle. Different configuration.

" Replaces Driver side CV axle needle bearing with bushing to help control Vibration and shaft float common on these differentials. Replaces Needle Bearing Part # 90364-35010 and 90364-35008. This is for the drivers side ONLY, the passenger side uses a ball bearing. "

While lifting mine I changed the needle bearing to the ECGS bushing and added the Old Man Emu carrier bearing drop spacer. I have never had any vibration issues.

this is a good idea. Straighten the drive line out a bit. Carrier bearings are known for having premature wear after lift, and no one usually checks them. I need to do mine probably.

It’s only about $20 and you can get it off Amazon. Very easy to install.
