    Hello everyone. Just joined this forum and I have a question. Has anyone dealt with the issue above. It only happens at 45-55mph either speeding up or right when the rpm drops? Would appreciate any input. BTW I have checked my 08 Limited dose not have the greasing joints/Zerks its a not at 4x4 its only rears wheel drive.

    I am thinking it has more to do with your transmission then the driver train.

    Could be nothing, or could be something, since it’s pretty hard to tell what you’re experiencing based on the description give . Also not sure what the poll on zerks is about.

    If it is something, could be anything from bad motor/transmission mounts, bad u-joints, bad transmission (or low fluid level). I’d start investigating with things that could be visually inspected without having to take anything apart.

    Appreciate the inputs, I deleted the pole, still figuring out the forum.

    Yes it could be anything which is why I wanted ask if anyone else in this forum has experienced the issue above. Not inclined to take it to Toyota dealer yet, since they would charge an arm and leg at least where I live. I would start with checking the mounts and make my way to U joints and update this thread. Thank you! I welcome any input or comments related to the issue.
