Hey guys, i have a 99 hilux xtra cab and i've recently installed the tough dog 2" lifted rear springs and now whenever i deccelerate in 4th or 3rd gear from 2500rpm i get a vibrating noise from just to the rear of the centre console, sounds like tailshaft? Also when i accelerate from low revs from 1500rpm it vibrates until about 2500rpm. I took it to the shop and they said i installed it fine. Does anyone else have the same problem? I ended up taking the springs out and installing the standard ones and it doesnt do it anymore... Let me know what you guys think.

Mate,

if it is a 2 peice tail shaft, check the center bearing. If it has excess play, it will be the cause of your problem. Just crawl under the truck and shake the tail shaft, it shouldnt move any more than about 5-10mm either direction.
