2001 Toyota Tacoma replaced rear axle bearing twice already truck has less 90000 miles. In both incidents it has ruined the internal parts of the axles causing damage to the carrier case. I bought a 3 rd trd axle at a wrecking yard to find the same problem in that axle. I was fortunate I was not involved in a accident. The rear axle could of locked up on the highway causing a serious accident or death related to axle failure.
2001-2004 Toyota Tacoma frame rust perforation that is now an ongoing issue with these trucks. Toyota wants to repair frames instead of buying back trucks like they did with the 1995-2000 models. Its an unsafe repair and unsafe to drive truck with a perforated frame. Seems like a "quiet" recall.
