Fixing Axle Wrap in a Toyota Tacoma

Overall, the Toyota Tacoma is an excellent, reliable, and well-built machine. But like many other leaf spring equipped vehicles, it suffers from a problem known as axle wrap. The rear axle is only held in place by the leaf springs, which is fine for a while. But over time, as the springs soften and wear out, they lose their ability to hold the rear axle in place. The rear axle begins to move around, and pinion angle changes. And eventually, things like yokes and driveshafts begin to break.
