A bad needle bearing is likely the cause of your front axle noise on a 2007+ FJ Cruiser, 2005+ Tacoma, or 2003+ 4runner. The solution is this metal backed, bronze inlaid, PTFE coated CV axle bushing for Toyota 8" front clamshell differential. Fits all 05 to current year model Tacoma, FJ Cruiser, and 03 up 4runner DOES NOT FIT AWD 4RUNNER AND FJ CRUISER. 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. Video below shows the install. https://youtu.be/Pp-5wcnpLJE(https://youtu.be/Pp-5wcnpLJE)

Just curious if we will have a group camp setup this year.

Toyota Needle bearings on Tacomas, 4runners and FJ CRUISER have a common issue of having too much play and that causes them to fail. this will create noise and vibration issues, some people have been able to get the dealerships to warranty the front differential but they replace the whole front differential instead of fixing the actual problem so its only a matter of time before it happens again. I made this video to show how easy it is to do the replacement yourself. https://youtu.be/Pp-5wcnpLJE

Made a video on how to remove swirl marks and trail pinstripes from overlanding. https://youtu.be/Vq8H2Cea6iw

I honestly think a car with good tires could make this section without issues, while it did not offer much offload difficulty the views were amazing! https://youtu.be/IhW9M3n68S0
