I sold my good half ton pickup to my brother. It was a 2007 Toyota Tundra with all the bells and whistles - it was the “good” pickup so it only had 80k miles on it. It only pulled the bumper pull stuff and left the ugly stuff for the 3/4 ton and dually. It led a charmed life.
Anyway, he’s had it several months and loves it. He called me today and said that he had it in the dealership to check the wheel bearings as there was a new vibration in the steering wheel. He hasn’t driven it for a few weeks as his wife and kids towed their boat to the lake for a week and then his son took it for a week or so to boat with friends in his college town.
Turns out the vibration is a bearing in the front differential to the tune of around $2000. He isn’t saying there was anything wrong with it or trying to lay any blame - just chatting. He said the vibration wasn’t there the whole time he’s had it but had it now that he hasn’t driven it.
Here’s my question: if someone pulled a boat out of the water and then forgot the thing was in four wheel drive (it wasn’t full time four wheel drive) could it cause a bearing to go out in the front differential? I wouldn’t ever point a finger or cause trouble for them or him, but I am just curious for myself. I’ve always been overly cautious with all of my pickups about running it only when I needed it and turning it off just as soon as was possible. There are all kinds of warning lights on the thing, so I’m not sure you could absently leave it on, but I guess anything is possible.
He’s not the most mechanically inclined, but what I invisioned is the output bearing on the side of the difffernectial right before the CV joint and shaft out to the wheel.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
