Not sure if this helps, but I noticed when I put my side mirror L/R selector in the middle, it does not adjust my side mirrors when in reverse. I had to do that because my right side mirror would not come back to previous position when in Drive. Mine seems to have a gear coming loose it seems...

Check to see if the driveshafts are out of phase. There are some threads on here on phasing if I recall. For it to start out of the blue, thats what I would check first. However, I had the same symptoms and it was not U-joints. Keep in mind I bought my 100 cheap and it came with that highway...

Thanks. Those are 295/75/16 Toyo Open Country extreme A/T ii. Got about 10k mi on them and have no complaints.

Love it. The only thing I can really notice is the lighter rotational mass, coming from oem rims. It’s subtle, but makes just enough of a difference to help the bigger tires turn a little easier. Worth it in my book.

I've been waiting for almost a year for these 5x150 to be in stock. Grabbed them last week and arrived yesterday. They look great. Lightweight too. They're still some left in stock if you are in the market.

Not sure if the same issue, but I resolved a nasty highway vibration issue in mine after determining the front differential mount bushings had a ton of play in them. Got the bushings replaced and now solid as a rock. FYI though, the bushings were not easy to find (this was in Nov 2021). My...

Good to know. I checked my cv axle c-clips under the hub dust caps, they looked good to me. But I do have one cv boot leaking and I know the previous owner replaced them 3 years ago with aftermarket cv's. Very possible the CV could be an issue on mine as well. Mine is sitting pretty level...

I think I am chasing a similar only under accelerating at highway speed drivetrain vibration. Already checked u-joints. Have brand new tires. I know each driveshaft needs to be in phase from yolk to yolk. But I was curious, does both of the phases of the front and rear driveshaft need to...

Yep. As I mentioned earlier, once I learned that I had to remove the rear shock from the lower mount, I had all the clearance I needed to remove the rear spring by hand. Easy peasy. Shock removal was required for me with my OME nitrous sport shocks, just not enough travel in those and with a...

Oh, it was easy once I got the lower shock out. Before that, I made it way too hard for myself lol.

Got it done. Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction. Didn’t even need the spring compressor after dropping the shocks. Now the medium springs are in, rides level and much more compliant. 🙏

Ok, so its the rear shock thats keeping it from dropping further. Makes sense. I already attempted coil strut compressor rental this morning like pictured above, but these beefy OME heavy springs won't escape with the compressor on. I have repositioned several times with no luck. I think the...

I attempted to swap out my springs this morning for a different one for the first time, but noticed the brake lines and diff breather maxed out (length). When lifting DS rear axle under the shock mount, I couldn't get enough drop on PS to remove the spring. So you only had to detaching one of...

Just curious, did any of you with the clunk type symptoms also have a bad shudder/vibration while driving 40-60mph and accelerating? I've seen a whole bunch of threads on the vibration issue here. But was wondering if there is any correlation on these symptoms. Thanks!

Anybody have any luck resolving their vibration issues? Just bought a 2000 LX a few days ago and just joined here. Been searching this forum and seeing several posts with similar type vibrations. Mine too has terrible vibration only when accelerating at 50-60mph range. It stops vibrating when...
