MZS Carrier Bearing Drop Kit for 2005-2024 Tacoma Driveshaft Spacer

I don’t know why it’s so perfectly shiny. It’s almost sad to hide it away under my truck. But between this and an axle angle shim (you need that too) I’ve finally ended the horrible vibrating after lifting my truck 3.5”. Well, to be fair I bought 2 of these to drop the bearing enough to straighten out the drive shaft. But that’s my fault for lifting my Tacoma so much. I will say that yes, the washers it comes with are cheap and will bend, do yourself a favor and spend a few pennies for some better washers at your hardware store. But that’s hardly something to complain about when the vibration is gone!!!

I bought these spacers for my Tacoma carrier bearing bracket when I changed leaf springs. The new springs add 2” to the height. I read a lot of reviews about drive shaft vibration after lifting. I installed these at the same time and no vibration at all. I recommend these spacers.

Plates looks good with a perfect fit and straightened out my Driveshaft on my 18 Tacoma with a 3,5” liftkit.

Fit as said

2015 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport. Less than 200 miles after install using factory bolt torque specs, I began feeling a vibration. I went underneath my truck to investigate and found the larger of the washers (not the lock washer) provided was sunken in and bent into my carriage bearing bolt slots. I removed these cheap washers and reinstalled the factory bolts that have larger heads on them. Warning to buyers…buy another kit or invest in some better washers. Pictures provided are of bolts and washers provided with this Amazon kit.

Worth it. Installed on.my 2009 tacoma with a small lift great fit easy to use. Easiest way to install is get the original bolts loose and place the spacer under the carrier bearing. One at a time with rhe new bolts. Some people complained about the washer so I replaced mine with better quality ones. No rust o problems functions just like the other big name brands!

The spacers work, definitely helps with the vibration I was experiencing. The only problem I had with them is that the washers supplied with the kit have a small diameter and are quite thin so they get sucked up into the carrier bearing mount hole. I replaced them with more sturdy washers, turned out great otherwise.

2023 Tacoma TRD off road 6 speed manual. Installed a 2” front 1” rear kit, and noticed under braking while in gear there was a pretty good vibration. Lifted many vehicles in the last, but apparently because of Tacoma’s short wheel base, they’re pretty sensitive to small suspension geometry changes. Got a tip to install the carrier bearing spacer and it’s back to driving like new! Yeah it only has 7k miles on it but it’s back to 0!

Works as should

Unfortunately its does not work as stated. I have a 2" lift in my 2011 Tacoma and was looking for something easy to drop in and fix the common vibration. First I replaced all u-joints and carrier bearing, still vibration, so I tried this. Upon further reading it seems like one must measure the angle and have something made fairly exact to get the shaft back in line, this product does not do that as its thin. Easy install though..
