Vibration when coasting
Does anyone have any idea why when coasting in my 01 tacoma 4x4 I get a weird vibration that I don't feel when the truck is under a load.
I am really at a loss on this. |

I can' t tell if it's front or rear. It seems to be the entire truck. It's not a huge vibration but it is noticeable. |

Does it have a 2 piece driveshaft? If so, the carrier bearing may be hosed.

2nd the ujoint diagnosis.
Under load the ujoint will have no free play. No noise. Last edited by jorian; 03-17-2015 at 10:01 PM.. |

My F250 4x4 does this if I leave the Warn manual hubs locked in on dry pavement. A slight, but noticable vibration.

A Rear tire out of balance can also vibrate the car while coasting

Tires to be rebalanced to hopefully eliminate the bad vibe
