Differential bearings worn out - car shaking - Toyota Yaris Forums

Unicron · 05-13-2012, 06:42 PM

At around 36 km/hour, the whole car starts shaking. I have rotated the tires and it made no difference, so the vibration is definitely from the transmission/drive shafts. Today I looked underneath the car to look at the transmission and I could move the (driver side) cv joint around a bit probably 3/16" of an inch of free play, and there is a little oil leaking from the transmission there. I think the differential bearings are worn out allowing the drive shaft to wobble at certain speeds - causing the shaking.

Has anyone had this problem before? Its 2007 with 120, 000 km 2dr HB.

Does anyone know how much it would cost to fix this?
