2016 and Newer Toyota Tacoma
Shop ECGS Toyota Clamshell Bushings for 2016 and newer Tacoma 4WD applications. These Tacoma models use a Toyota 8-inch IFS front clamshell differential that can develop driver-side needle bearing wear, CV axle movement, gas-pedal vibration, hum, growl, or front-end drivetrain noise.
Choose the standalone bushing if you already have the correct ECGS tools, or choose the Complete Kit if you need the properly sized removal tool, installation tool, seal driver, and seal components for the Toyota 8-inch clamshell differential.

2016 and Newer Toyota Tacoma Clamshell Bushing
This category covers ECGS Toyota 8-inch clamshell bushing products for 2016 and newer Toyota Tacoma 4WD applications. These Tacoma models use a Toyota IFS front clamshell differential where the factory driver-side needle bearing can wear and allow CV axle shaft movement.
Common symptoms include faint gas-pedal vibration, front-end hum, growl, buzz, roar, or a cyclic “whomp-whomp” noise. Many owners notice the issue around 30-50 mph, especially after installing a lift, leveling kit, larger tires, long travel suspension, or replacement CV axles.
If the vibration disappears when shifted into 4HI and returns in 2WD, the driver-side clamshell needle bearing is a likely cause. The ECGS PTFE clamshell bushing replaces the factory needle bearing and better supports the driver-side CV axle under side load.
For DIY installation, the ECGS Complete Kit is the best choice because it includes the properly sized bushing, removal tool, installation tool, seal driver, and seal components for this application. Toyota clamshell bushing sizes and tools are application-specific and do not all interchange.
