    I actually had a bent rear axle shaft on my old 4Runner. I bought it used from a Toyota dealer. Took an extensive test drive. No wobbling on the highway or anything. After driving it for a couple months, I noticed the parking brake shoes wearing funny and sticking on the passenger side. I couldn’t figure out why it was acting like that, so I took it to my favorite local mechanic, and he finally figured it out. He put the rear axle up in the air, chocked the front tires, and put it in drive. Sure enough, the one wheel was wobbling ever so slightly. The wheel was fine, but it turns out the passenger side rear axle shaft was bent. No idea how that happened. And I don’t think the dealer I bought it from had a clue, either. That really doesn’t seem like an easy thing to do.

    And yes, the sarcasm and poking fun abounds on this forum. Most of it is pretty good-natured, and there is a lot of help here to be found if you can roll with it.

    If you think it’s bad here, don’t ever visit Tacoma World o_O
