| Description of the problem | Vibration at 70,000 miles in front and rear of vehicle. Checked out online. Seems people are having problems with bearings in toyota tundra's at relatively low mileage . Took to mechanic. Bearings need replaced in front right and rear wheel hubs. 70,000 miles, wow. Mechanic was flabbergasted too. Little early for bearing replacement . With the frame already under recall. Makes you wonder who went cheap with bearing's too. I bought toyota in thinking things like this wouldn't happen. My 1996 nissan frame looks better then the frame on my truck. Toyota inspected frame . Told me it looked better than most . Bolts that hold bed on under my bed liner are already rusted, as well as the bed body and frame . Told me it doesn't meet replacement requirements . So now i'm waiting for them to spray underneath body. Something that should have been done in production . I don't see how that fixes a problem . If done correctly and prepped before spraying maybe. Need to replace all frames not coated in the first place. |
