started noticing a small vibration a few days ago but now its a little worse i know my cv's are gonna need to be replaced ...but i don't think that's the problem its most noticeable at above 35 under power all the way to 60 but if i push in the clutch it goes away and if your in 2nd and your slowing down it shakes pretty good

 

When mine started vibrating like that a while back, it was the rear u-joint. It had obvious play in it when I grabbed the driveshaft.

 

i hope its the u joint and not something i cant afford to fix right now it has a little click if u listen for it so that's why im leaning towards a u joint

 

kinda sounds like what mine is doing, also when i brake to a complete stop then let off the brake i feel a little "thunk" in the back end?

 

Try greasing the zerks first.

 

now its clunking

 

Park the truck and block the wheels. Put the vehicle in neutral. Crawl up under your truck and grab the drive line near the u-joint with both hands. Attempt to move the shaft either up or down/side to side depending on the location of the u-joint cross bearing and see if you feel any movement. If the u-joint is worn significantly you will feel the movement and may even hear the contact of the bearing surface in the u-joint. Check both front and rear u-joints for movement. Never have had an issue with a u-joint in a 4runner but I did in my old first gen Bronco. If it is really worn to the point you can hear the clunk-clunk of the u-joint, you will be able to feel the movement of the u-joint when you try this. Like was mentioned the sound is predominately when you are slowing. Centrifcal force helps to keep this noise and movement to a minimum when the shaft is spinning at higher speeds. When you are slowing to a stop you will be able to hear the clunk-clunk and a final CLUNK when you stop. Gravity works! Good luck

 

o ya now its done s63.photobucket.com/albums/h154/Eltonh/Toyota/?action=view&current=MVI_1658.flv

 

OUCH TOWN population you bro!

 

Why would you let it get that bad? You knew 2 weeks ago what was wrong....

Anyways, take that driveline out and get it to a shop so they can replace it before you explode the yoke. Or, buy a good used driveline.

 

lol im gonna fix it tonight since i have time now

 

Call Maz-Toy auto recycling in Troutdale, they have a driveline in stock

 

20 dollars later good as new

 

why buy a new drive line for a simple u joint????
