[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4227298, member: 5412"] Wish I had known of them about 10 years ago. My Tacoma needed a carrier bearing, so took it to a guy that was recommended by a friend. When I left it, I left the factory maintenance manual open to the page on the center consol about removing and servicing the drive shaft in that vehicle. Evidently, he didn't know that there is a process to removing the shaft, replacing U-joints and getting them back in the same order to preserve the balance. Made the truck shake like crazy at certain speeds when getting it back. Typical balance issue. The mechanic sent it to a couple of drive shaft shops that do trucks and things. Never came back right, so got online, found a shop in San Antonio that most of the top fuel and funny car drivers use to build and balance their shafts. They spin them up to what is the equivalent RPM of a dragster going 300 mph. When it came back, it was perfect. Never used that jerk again. [/QUOTE]
