    Hello I have 2008 tundra and I just replace my coilovers and went with stock trd 4600 yellow and blue ones from a 2019. Just my luck I put the passenger coilover on the driver side and the driver coilover on the passenger side not knowing theirs a difference between the two. So than I added 2 shims on the driver side to make it even. Just got new tires toyo at3 also and now I have a vibration/ humming going over 70mph. It comes and go every 2 seconds. I can feel it on the floor board very annoyed. Everything is tight. can it be a bad ball joint causing the vibration. It started after I put the new coilovers on. IMG_20201118_202941264.jpg

    So I just make sure it wasn't a carrier bearing problem so I went under the truck and I can move the driveshaft within the bushing it has some play. When I tried to turn the driveshaft theirs no play what so ever just within the bushing. It's weird i never had this vibration issue until I lift the truck around 1in in the front. The driveshaft is not completely straight it looks like it's sinking in near the carrier bearing.

    I just confirmed the driver lower ball joint is leaking causing the pop noise. Only other problem is the vibration.. I confirmed Early today that rpm has nothing to do with the vibration. But it has some affect on it going 72mph put it in 5th gear and the vibration is not as bad but still their. I can feel it through the steering wheel alot and the steering wheel shakes alot also. All new tires and all of them been balance.
    Alignment specs are:
    Camber:
    R +0.1
    L -0.1

    Caster:
    R 2.8
    L 2.7

    Toe both at 15
